Polymerase chain reaction results in selected samples from water, crayfish, patients, and controls. Lanes 1 and 2: positive control (first [1550-bp] and second [950-bp] rounds of amplification); lanes 3 and 4: water samples 1 and 3, respectively, from the sewage plant, second round; lanes 5 and 6: stomach and hepatopancreas, respectively, from batch A of crayfish, second round; lane 7: negative control; lanes 8 and 10: control of amplification of 1 CFU for the first and second rounds of amplific
