Figure 3

Double dendogram of phenotypes in decubitus ulcers. The heat map shows relative percentages of the given phenotypes in each of the 49 samples with a color legend and scale provided. The distance of the samples based upon weighted pair linkage and Manhattan distance methods with no scaling is displayed at the top of the figure along with a distance score. The bacterial phenotypes and the associated clustering are provided along the Y-axis and their associated distance scores are indicated. The bacteria predominantly expressed the gram-positive and cocci phenotypes, with aerotolerance being of relatively equitable distribution.
