a see Figs 1, 2, and 3. b Identical numbers indicate strains with identical sequences.
c Identical numbers indicate strains with strain traits other than size (flagella length:body length, form and frequency of plasmodium formation, propensity to form cell clusters, etc).
Statistical analysis of the 11 genes (without multiple test correction) indicated strain differences with a p-value of 0.00022 or less.
This indicates that strains with different ptxP types have different genetic backgrounds and form different lineages.
Preliminary characterization of the haploid cultures at temperatures ranging from 14°C to 37°C indicates that strains with the modified MDN1 HA) gene grow somewhat more slowly than those with the native MDN1 wt) gene, but appear otherwise normal.
Genetic comparison of a collection of CA-MRSA using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) has indicated that strains with common features have arisen in geographically dispersed S. aureus strains with unrelated genetic backgrounds, indicative of multiple independent clonal origins [7].
Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strains with different genetic markers cocirculate in France.
A total of 67% of MRSA were classified into the subtype 3a, indicating that strains with this profile were predominant in health institutions in KZN province, South Africa.
Several of these clones display the bdar morphotype, indicating that strains with this morphotype are highly competent in surviving in this environment.
It was also responsive to benzene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, and p-xylene, indicating that strains with the tod promoter can be used as a general BTEX monitor [ 47].
