FIG. 6.
GE sequence differences. The region of the 16S rRNA gene where sequence differences were noted is shown for the HGE agent, E. equi, and a novel GE variant. The differing nucleotides are boxed, and the numbers above these are the corresponding base number designations for the HGE agent 16S rDNA sequence reported by Chen et al. (13) (GenBank accession no. U02521). The E. equi sequence was obtained from GenBank (accession no. M73223).
