Pulse field gel electrophoresis of E. faecalis strains in patients with CA-UTI. First column: Patients’ code plussource of each isolate, F: Feces, U: urine; Second column: F, Female; M, Male; Third column, antibiotic resistance phenotype: TET, tetracycline; MIN, minocycline; GM120, gentamicin 120 µg; CP, ciprofloxacin; LEV, levofloxacin; GAT, gatifloxacin; Fourth column, virulence factors: esp, Enterococcal surface protein; asa1, Aggregation substance; ace, Adhesion of collagen of enterococci; cyl, Cytolysin; gelE, Gelatinase; efbA, Pav A-like fibronectin-binding protein. The PFGE patterns were determined using the Dice coefficient in GelCompar II version 2.0 (Applied Maths, Belgium). Isolates that differed by ≤ 3 bands were assigned to same pulse type (PT), while isolates that differed by ≥ 4 bands assigned to different types
