Fig. 1 Pulsed field gel electrophoresis of SpeI digested genomic DNA from 15 isolates of A. xylosoxidans collected during 2009 from 15 CF patients. Five patients had been infected for more than six years (a–e), five patients had been infected for two to three years (f–j), and five patients experienced a first-time identification of A. xylosoxidans in 2009 (k–o). Four patients carry strains with identical macro restriction profiles (c–f). Lanes M: molecular marker.
