Figure 1From: Molecular characterization of resistance to Rifampicin in an emerging hospital-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone ST228, SpainPFGE subtypes of MRSA strains with decreased susceptibility to rifampicin (RIF-R), "B-1" to "B-8". PFGE pattern "A" corresponds to a rifampicin susceptible MRSA isolate (RIF-S). PFGE patterns of controls are shown: Iberian clone (IC) representatives (PER88 and ATCCBAA44), ATCC2913 and ATCC70069.Back to article page
