NotI restriction patterns of Leptospira strains obtained with the Bio-Rad apparatus (Richmond, CA) with a pulse time ramped from 5 to 90 s for 36 h. The lanes contain lambda concatemers (lanes 1 and 10) and DNA from isolates: patient strain (lane 2); L. fainei hurstbridge, strain But 6 (lane 3); L. inadai Lyme, strain 10 (lane 4); L. inadai biflexa, strain LT430 (lane 5); L. biflexa patoc, strain Patoc I (lane 6); L. meyeri semaranga, strain VS173 (lane 7); L. kirschneri grippotyphosa, strain MoskvaV (lane 8); and L. interrogans icterohaemorrhagiae, strain Verdun (lane 9).
