Figure 6
The relationship between CE-RAPD profiles, TIS correlation and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) pattern of 210 clinical samples. Combined clinical samples from NTUH and TPECH. HCA of CE-RAPD profiles (left side) and AST pattern (top) were performed clustering based on Spearman dissimilarity (Partek). N represents NTUH, and T represents TPECH. Red font indicates the similarly group of NTUH-029 profile (dissimilarity distance < 0.24). Blue background indicates the NTUH-029 matched cluster (Red arrows in Fig. 4c). Individual TIS identified results and the mean of TIS from three primers are shown in the center of the figure. These TIS results were target with NTUH-029. The color bar at the bottom of the figure shows the value of TIS mean, minimum 0 and maximum 0.5. Antibiotic names are indicated in the upper right-hand corner of the figure, and identical color bar indicate the same antibiotic types. IPM: imipenem. AN: amikacin. GM: gentamicin. CIP: ciprofloxacin. TZP: piperacillin-tazobactam. SAM: ampicillin-sulbactam. CZ: cefazolin. CAZ: ceftazidime. CTX: cefotaxime. FEP: cefepime. SXT: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. At the bottom right of figure, color blocks indicate antibiotic susceptibility. Yellow block is susceptible (S), orange block is intermediate (I) and red block is resistance (R).
