Rep-PCR based molecular typing and percentage of similarity within Rhizobium radiobacter outbreak isolates and outliers. Location: H1 to H13- hospitals numbered sequentially; IP-In house pharmacy; PR – Paraná State; RS – Rio Grande do Sul State; SP – São Paulo state; CC- capital city; CS – country-side. Source: BSI – blood isolates; CGL – Calcium gluconate vial; TPN – total parenteral nutrition. Shaded area: isolates belonging to the same clone or clonal group. The couloured boxes states the percentage of similarity between the two strains. The red boxes indicate higher similarity (above 95%) between strains meaning isolates are clonal. The orange boxes indicate high similarities (90–95%) meaning isolates are related –i.e: belong to the same clonal group. Yellow boxes indicate intermediate similarities (70–80%). The grey boxes indicate similarity is low (50–70%)
