Figure 1From: International Clostridium difficile animal strain collection and large diversity of animal associated strains Dendrogram showing similarities of banding patterns generated with classical agarose gel electrophoresis based PCR ribotyping for all 38 different PCR ribotypes included in the collection. For each “gel-based” PCR ribotype all profiles generated with capillary electrophoresis PCR ribotyping are added for comparison. A “CE” prefix, eg. (CE) 039, indicates that the ribotype assigment was made in reference laboratory (CDRN Leeds) using the newer capillary electrophoresis-based approach.Back to article page
