were phage-type U302, and all but one was of
resistance type (R-type) ASSuT, with the last
isolate being fully susceptible. The isolate from
the implicated staff member, and the two isolates
from the restaurant food, were also subjected to
PFGE analysis and were found to belong to the
outbreak type. These isolates were also R-type
ASSuT and phage-type U302. Isolates from the
Swedish patients were not routinely typed by
PFGE, but 11 of the Swedish isolates were sent to
the SSI for PFGE typing and all were found to
belong to the outbreak type
