FIG. 1 SpeI PFGE profiles of the IMP-13-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate OBG6_1 from a patient with cystic fibrosis, strain AV65, causing a nosocomial outbreak in southern Italy and representing the epidemic IMP-13 P. aeruginosa clone (clone C), and strains AV13X-28, NA14X-12 and PG12X-03, representing the clonal variant C1, C2 and C3, respectively, present on the Italian territory [11,12]. Molecular size standards are reported in kilobasepair.
