68983-6
LaboratoryNational (USA) PFGE pattern [Identifier] in Isolate
Definition
Each unique pattern in the database is represented by a 10-character code as follows: XXXYYY.0000 The first three characters in the code represent the bacterial pathogen, the next three characters denote the enzyme used for DNA restriction, and the last four characters represent thepattern designation. For example, in the pattern designation EXHA26.0026, EXH represents E. coli O157:H7, A26 represents restriction endonuclease AvrII, and 0026 is the pattern number. Because the pattern numbers are assigned sequentially to unique patterns, no evolutionary, phylogenetic,or clonal relationships should be implied from the order of pattern numbers. link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2631779/pdf/11384513.pdf
