FIG. 2.

Detection of a selection of E. faecalis genes in 30 isolates from clinical and food origins. The individual chromosomes are displayed vertically, and genes are ordered according to their organization in the reference strain V583 and in MMH494 PAI. The names of the strains are indicated on the top. C, F, and S indicate, respectively, clinical, food, and human stool origins of the isolates. Gene designations are on both sides of the diagram, with one of every two genes identified alternately on the left and the right. Absent and ambiguous genes are indicated by white and gray squares, respectively. Bold characters indicate variable genes.
