Dendrogram showing pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) results for levofloxacin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae isolates digested by SmaI. Salmonella enterica serovar Braenderup strain H9812 (ATCC BAA664) was used as standard for DNA pattern normalization. PFGE patterns were analyzed by using BioNumerics software (Applied Maths NV, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium). For mutation profiles of the quinolone-resistance determining regions (QRDR) in GyrA and ParC, see Table 3. *Isolates having >80
