Fig. 2 Examples of PFGE profiles for antibiotic-non-susceptible pneumococci isolated from day-care centres and orphanages in Russia. Three international clones, Spain23F-1 (1), Spain9V-3 (2) and a variant of clone Spain9V-3 (3), are shown for comparison. Isolates with PFGE profile A correspond to serotype 19A; profile N to serotype 6A; profile G to serotypes 12, 19A, 19F and 23F; profile H to serotype 23B; profile J to serotypes 6A and 6B; profiles E1 and E2 to serotype 15; profile I to serotypes 19C, 23B and 23B; profile B to serotypes 14, 19A and 23B; and profile D to serotypes 8, 19A and 19C.
