Figure 2. BstEII rRNA gene profiles of nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae from isolates submitted to the Public Health Laboratory Service's Streptococcus and Diphtheria Reference Unit from U.K. residents,* 1995. Lanes 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, and 34 contain lambda HindIII digests as size standard (sizes indicated on left). The remaining tracks show ribotypes A to W: lane 2, 95/13 (A); lane 3, 95/281 (B); lane 5, 95/384 (C); lane 6, 95/358 (D); lane 8, 95/220 (E); lane 9, 95/258 (F); lane 11, 95/277 (G); lane 12, 95/515 (H); lane 14, 95/173 (I); lane 15, 95/171 (J); lane 17, 95/382 (K); lane 18, 95/167 (L); lane 20, 95/340 (M); lane 21, 95/428 (N); lane 23, 95/424 (O); lane 24, 95/453 (P); lane 26, 95/418 (Q); lane 27, 95/23 (R); lane 29, 95/338 (S); lane 30, 95/18 (T); lane 32, 95/324 (U); lane 33, 95/389 (V); lane 35, 95/21 (W). * U.K. = England, Wales, Scotland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man.
