PstI (Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania) fingerprinting of plasmid DNA from the K. pneumoniae clinical isolates, E. coli DH5α transformants producing KPC-2 and TEM-1 (T), and E. coli A15 transconjugants producing SHV-12 (R). Molecular size markers: M1, λ DNA cut by HindIII, and M2, GeneRuler 1-kb DNA ladder (Fermentas). DNA sizes to the left correspond to the GeneRuler 1-kb DNA ladder, whereas those to the right correspond to λ DNA cut by HindIII.
