Citrobacter rodentium is an Unstable Pathogen Showing Evidence of Significant Genomic Flux
Figure 2
PFGE profile of different C. rodentium isolates.
PFGE generated after XbaI cleavage of genomic DNA isolated from different strains and isolates of C. rodentium. Strain ICC168 shows the same PFGE pattern as for ICC169, ICC169-474, ICC169-335 and ICC169-476. Two isolates displayed significant differences in their PFGE profiles (indicated by red arrows); ICC169-407 has a band missing at approximately 340 kb and additional bands of approximately 280 kb and 420 kb; ICC169-496 is also missing the 340 kb band and has two extra bands between 145 and 200 kb. Markers are from New England BioLabs. Band sizes are indicated in kb.
