    PFGE of XbaI-digested genomic DNAs from 17 nonrepetitive blaIMP-8-positive K. pneumoniae isolates. (A) Lane M, bacteriophage lambda DNA concatemers (Gibco BRL), which served as molecular size markers; lanes 1 to 10, pattern A, isolates 99a300, 99c025, 99c196, 99c893, 99e843, 00m393, 00m749, 00f195, 2907/00, and 00j910. (B) Lane M, bacteriophage lambda DNA concatemers; lane 1, pattern A, isolate 00m578; lanes 2 to 4, pattern C, isolates 00m869, 3396/00, and 00t801; lane 5, pattern D, isolate 00d401; lane 6, pattern E, isolate 99w853; lane 7, pattern B, isolate 3599/00. Isolates 00f195 and 00d401 were from the same patient.
