FIG. 1.

Organization of the IncP island of B. suis biovar 1 (A) and comparison with the guaA-19-kDa region of B. melitensis (B). The BRA ORF numbers are those in the accession no. AE014292.2 sequence. Genes of phage or plasmid origin are indicated by gray arrows, and genes encoding proteins of unknown function or origin are indicated by cross-hatched arrows. EcoRI restriction sites are indicated by vertical arrows. (C) Southern blot of EcoRI-digested genomic DNA hybridized with a probe encompassing the guaA-int junction, showing that the IncP island is present in the genomes of B. suis biovar 1 (lane S1) and B. neotomae (lane N) but absent in B. suis biovar 5 (lane S5). The arrowheads indicate the 52-bp imperfect direct repeats at the boundaries of the IncP island.
