Figure 5From: Comparative analysis of the complete genome of an epidemic hospital sequence type 203 clone of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faeciumRelative competitive fitness of ST203 isolates Aus0085 and Aus0090 compared with ST17 isolates Aus0004 or Aus0021. Grown in the presence of ST17 strains, all ST203 strains outcompeted the ST17 strains in mixed cultures over 24 hours, possessing a competitive relative fitness index value significantly greater than 1.Back to article page
