Figure 1 Banding patterns of genomic DNA from C:2b:P1. 2,5 Neisseria meningitidis isolates obtained with Bg/II endonuclease (lanes 2, 5–9 isolated from asymptomatic carriers, and lanes 3, 4, 10–14 from patients). Bacteriophage lambda concatemers (lanes 1 and 15) were used as molecular size standard (48.5 kb).
