Figure 3

Subtypes assigned to BV-positive samples based on BamHI and HindIII digestion profiles. Lane M: 100 bp DNA molecular ladder (ThermoFisher Scientific). Subtypes 1 (1200 bp band for BamHI and HindIII digestions), 2B (200 bp and 1100 bp for BamHI digestion and 1200 bp for HindIII digestion), 2AB (200 bp and 1100 bp for BamHI digestion and 450 bp, 1000 bp, and 1200 bp for HindIII digestion), and 2C (200 bp and 1100 bp for BamHI digestion and 450 bp and 1000 bp for HindIII digestion) were distributed across the BV-positive samples.
