Chromosomal localization of vanB2 in E. faecium outbreak and non-outbreak strains. (a) Genomic DNA digested with I-CeuI and resolved in PFGE; (b) Southern hybridisation with a labelled vanB probe. Underlined lane numbers designate “non-outbreak strains”. Legend: O, ST192 outbreak strain; NO, non-outbreak strains.
