Molecular Analysis of Ciprofloxacin Resistance Mechanisms in Malaysian ESBL-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates and Development of Mismatch Amplification Mutation Assays (MAMA) for Rapid Detection of gyrA and parC Mutations

Figure 3

PFGE dendrogram of the 93 K. pneumoniae isolates investigated in this study. Alterations in GyrA and/or ParC subunits were detected in the isolates which belong to 11 clusters. Black triangles represent clusters with multiple isolates possessing the same gyrA and/or parC mutations. Black circles represent monoisolate clusters with gyrA and/or parC mutations. The dashed line represents the similarity level (80%) used in the clusters definition.
