Epidemiology/Infection Control - molecular

What is the best microbial identification system for strain similarity analysis?
(answered 10/05/2005)
isolates for pfge: when we submit isolates for pfge for epidemiology purposes-we must pick from at least 3 colonies. In mixed cultures, when we isolate an organism-we usually pick from 1 isolated colonly. If this organism were then to go on for pfge testing, could our initial subculture affect the results?

Is there any way to look at individual PFGE patterns from Salmonella Newport on the web (PulseNet? I couldn't find the link). Also, are those pattern all generated by CHEF or could a person use FIGE?
