Agarose gel electrophoresis analysis on 1.5% agarose gel of DNA sequences amplified by multiplex-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay by using outer and inner primer sets targeted rompB gene and template DNAs from serum samples. Lanes: M, size marker DNA (100-bp DNA ladder); 1–24, each number of amplified H products. The number on the left indicates the molecular size (in bp) of the amplified PCR products.
