TABLE 3.

Amplification of the VR1s of CA-11.2A, B31, and φBB-1^a

Size (bp)				Predicted B31 plasmid
CA-11.2A		B31-UM
Total DNA	Phage DNA	Total DNA	Phage DNA
		3,426	3,426	cp32-1 or 8
		3,343	3,343	cp32-9 or 4
3,047	3,047
2,819		2,828		1p56
2,537	2,537
		2,484b	2,484	cp32-3b
2,455	2,455

^aSizes determined by regression using Multi-Analyst software; predictions based on size estimates from ≥3 trials and applicable only to the B31 fragments. 

^bPrediction confirmed by sequencing of VR1.
