Abstract excerpt
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) were compared in this study of 65 Enterococcus faecalis isolates recovered over a 20-year period from diverse geographic sources. Clonal relationships recognized by PFGE were also recognized by MLEE; however, MLEE recognized as greater number of isolates as belonging to clonal groups than did PFGE. Both techniques were...
