Figure 2.

Amino acid sequences of walK gene alignment of the four S. epidermidis study isolates against NCBI Reference Sequence WP_002437327.1. Cytoplasmic domains are highlighted in colours according to InterPro analysis and classification. HAMP (InterPro entry: IPR003660): histidine kinases, adenylyl cyclases, methyl binding proteins, phosphatases domain; PAS (IPR000014): signal sensor domain; his_kinase_dom (IPR005467): histidine kinase domain. Amino acids highlighted in red were found to be deleted within the genomic sequences of STA3 and STA4 strains. STA1 and STA2 correspond to episode 1 (24 days after arthroplasty) and STA3 and STA4 correspond to episode 2 (240 days after arthroplasty).
