Clustering in time of the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type C strains of Enterobacter cloacae and the RAPD type A strains of Escherichia coli for isolates from the low-care hematology Unit A. Note that RAPD type A E. coli strains were also retrieved from two patients in another unit (patients 28 and 33). The dates on which positive cultures were obtained are indicated by +; the horizontal bars indicate the periods during which the patients were in Unit A.
