Relapsing bacteremia in patients with ventricular assist device: an emergent complication of extended circulatory support Regis A Vilchez, MD, M.Catherine McEllistrem, MD, Lee H Harrison, MD, Kenneth R McCurry, MD, Robert L Kormos, MD, Shimon Kusne, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 72, Issue 1, Pages 96-101 (July 2001) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(01)02690-X
Fig 1 Pulse field gel electrophoresis patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Each vertical lane (lanes 2–17) contains one bacterial isolate of P aeruginosa. Lane 1 is the lambda ladder control marker. Lanes 2–4 represent P aeruginosa control strains, that is, isolates from patients that do not have a ventricular assist device. Lanes 5–12 represent the eight P aeruginosa isolates from patient 2. Lanes 13–17 represent the five P aeruginosa isolates from patient 3.
