Virulence Potential and Genomic Mapping of the Worldwide Clone Escherichia coli ST131 (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Overview of optical maps of the E. coli ST131 strains S250, FV7563 and MECB5, and reference UPEC CFT073.
Alignment software highlights _Nco_I restricted fragment polymorphisms between strains by using white color and homologous regions by using blue color. Vertical lines in each bacterial genome represent matching _Nco_I restriction sites. PAIs present in the genome of strain CFT073 are represented by different colors: PAI I: green, PAI II: pink, PAI III: red, PAI IV: yellow. Red lines under the genome of S250, FV7563 and MECB5 indicate four insertions only observed in this strain. Red frame on the genome of strain MECB5 indicates the insertion only observed in this strain. A close up view of this region is shown under the genome optical maps.
