PCR analysis and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR products of E. coli antibiotic resistance integrons. M: 100 bp ladder, Lane 1: positive control (491 bp), Lane 2: Class 1 integron (PCR product treated by HinfI, a 491 bp fragment), Lane 3: Class 1 integron (PCR product treated by RsaI, a 491 bp fragment), Lane 4: Class 2 integron (PCR product treated by HinfI, 300 and 191 bp fragments), Lane 5: Class 2 integron (PCR product treated by RsaI, 334 and 157 bp fragments).
