Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of clinical and environmental strains of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Ochrobactrum anthropi infections in patients after undergoing prostate biopsies at Hôpital Édouard Herriot, Lyon, France. Patient numbers match those in Table 1. EN, environmental; B, blood; U, urine; control, reference sample (i.e., a load of standard DNA used to calibrate the gel and correct for deformations in the migration trajectory, as described in Methods).
