Figure 1 Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of SmaI digested chromosomal DNA from 9 isolates representing two different clones of S. epidermidis isolated in the dialysis effluent obtained from 6 and 3 patients, respectively. Lane S, molecular standard; lanes 1 to 6 represent isolates of S. epidermidis with indistinguishable chromosomal pattern obtained from 6 patients, lanes 7 to 9 are isolates of S. epidermidis with an indistinguishable chromosomal pattern obtained from 3 patients.

Figure 2 PFGE patterns of SmaI digested chromosomal DNA from isolates of 13 S. epidermidis found in 13 repeated samples of dialyze effluent from one patient. Lanes 1 to 13 are chromosomal S. epidermidis DNA. Identical chromosomal DNA patterns are observed in lanes 3 to 5 and 7 to 13. A closely related chromosomal pattern is in lane 2, and non-identical chromosomal patterns are in lanes 1 and 6.
