Prevalence of E. coli ST131 among Uropathogenic E. coli Isolates from Iraqi Patients in Wasit Province, Iraq

Figure 2

Electrophoresis (1 volt/5 cm) of ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel (2%) of PCR-amplified products for detection of representative E. coli ST131 clone. Lane m: DNA ladder (100 bp), upper band corresponds to the amplification of the internal control uidA gene (657 bp); lanes 1–6, 7, and 10–12: positive results for allele-specific amplification of the ST131-O25b clade pabB (347 bp); lane 8: positive result for ST131-O16 clade trpA variants (145 bp); lane 9: represents non-ST131 E. coli.
