Figure 2 Examples of Smal PFGE types (A) and vanA-probed blots of Pst I-digested plasmid DNA (B). Lanes 1 to 3, isolates with PFGE type P1 containing plasmid pb20; lane 4, isolate with PFGE type P11 containing plasmid pb10; lane 5, isolate with PFGE type P24 containing plasmid pb10; and lane 6, BM4147 strain containing plasmid pIP816. Lane without number is λ-ladder molecular weight.
