Dendrogram of <i>C</i>. <i>difficile</i> strains based on AFLP patterns of all ribotype 027 strains identified between May 2013 and March 2014.

<p>Hierarchical clustering of AFLP types was performed using unweighted pair-grouping. The cut-off value for identical strains was set at 90% relative similarity (BioNumerics, Applied Maths, Belgium). Besides 027 strains, a few other ribotypes that were found in the VUmc in the same period were included in the analysis, serving as an outgroup. All 027 strains included in this analysis were considered to be identical (large cluster on top).</p
