PFGE of SmaI-digested total DNA of recipient, donor, and transconjugants from filter matings. Lanes 1 and 9, low-range PFGE marker; lane 2, ICESluvan donor S. lutetiensis 5-F9; lane 3, recipient BM4110 containing pIP964; lane 4, 1st-generation transconjugant/2nd-generation donor BM4110 ICESluvan pIP964; lane 5, 2nd-generation transconjugant JH2-2 ICESluvan pIP964; lane 6, 2nd-generation transconjugant UV202 ICESluvan pIP964; lane 7, recipient JH2-2; lane 8, recipient UV202. Vancomycin, streptomycin, and rifampin and fusidic acid resistance are indicated by plus signs opposite Vanr, Strr, and Rifr Fusr, respectively. The presence of ICESluvan was verified by vanB PCR and visual inspection of the SmaI PFGE pattern, where ICESluvan insertion in a 240-kb band results in replacement of one of the 240-kb double bands with a 340-kb band, as shown previously for JH2-derived recipients (20). The presence of the pheromone-responsive plasmid pIP964 was verified by reppCF10 and agg PCRs.
