Figure 2From: Genetic commonality of macrolide-resistant group A beta hemolytic streptococcus pharyngeal strainsPFGE of macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes isolates. The dendogram, to the left, compares the percent of genetic relatedness among resistant isolates. The level at which the vertical line transect the horizontal line from the PFGE of each isolate determines its homology based on the percent scale above the dendogram. Twelve resistant isolates are pictured. Each isolate is identified by site of origin (A or B), week in which it was obtained (1-26), and the isolate number within the week (1-8). All isolates are identified as (R) depicting their resistance.Back to article page
