PFGE of AseI restriction digests of clinical and water isolates of M. avium. The LRF pattern of the M. avium isolate from patient 33 (lane 13) was identical to those of water M. avium isolates from hospitals 4 (lane 2) and 5 (lane 3), closely related to those of isolates from hospitals 6 (lane 4) and 10 (lane 6), and possibly related to those of isolates from hospitals 7 (lane 5) and 14 (lane 7). The (lane 14) isolate from patient 53 was closely related to isolates from hospitals 4 (lane 2) and 5 (lane 3) and was possibly related to isolates from hospital 6 (lane 4). Isolates from patients 25 (lane 10), 29 (lane 11), and 32 (lane 12) were unrelated to all of the water M. avium isolates. Lanes 1, 9, and 15, SmaI restriction digests of S. aureus ATCC 8325 as molecular size markers. The reservoir 13 isolate (lane 8) was unrelated to any clinical isolate on the gel.
