Control of a Clonal Outbreak of Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a Hospital of the Basque Country after the Introduction of Environmental Cleaning Led by the Systematic Sampling from Environmental Objects
Figure 2
Example of molecular typing of isolates used during the outbreak. It is shown a DiversiLab system-generated dendrogram, showing the first five case outbreak A. baumannii isolates, compared with two other A. baumannii clones, detected before in the Hospital. The dendrogram shows strain clustering. The horizontal bar at the bottom left of the dendrogram indicates the percent similarity coefficient within the strains. Spacing between grid lines indicates increments of 5% similarity based on the proximity matrix results.
