recA polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns obtained with the query Burkholderia cepacia isolate (lane 1) isolated from an 8 year old girl with cystic fibrosis and B cepacia Genomovar IIIb reference strain (lane 2). Lane 3 contains a negative control (molecular grade water) and lane M contains a molecular weight marker (100 bp; Gibco Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). A and B denote the presence of bands of approximately 175 bp and 100 bp, respectively, in the query isolate.
