Figure Lengend Snippet: Dendrogram of six aEPEC presenting hybrid genotypes. Amplification profiles obtained in RAPD-PCR using primer 1247 (A) and primer 1283 (B) were evaluated by the BioNumerics and used to build the dendrogram. Note the proximity among strains 0811–4, 2071–1, 1482–11, and 2332–7. Strains 1551–3 and 3712–3 were less correlated. The red dashed line represents the cutoff of 90% similarity in the amplification pattern used to determine the clonality of the strains.
Article Snippet: To determine a clonal relationship, the amplification pattern obtained for both primers was evaluated by the BioNumerics program version 7.6.3 (Applied Maths, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium).
