FIG. 1.
Alignment of rplB and rplV at the region surrounding the insertion site of rplV in the telithromycin-resistant mutants. Also shown are the resulting rplV sequences after the gene conversion-like event (arrow). (A) rplV sequence of KT01; (B) rplV sequence of KT02. Boldface, inserted residues and bases. Note the difference in similarity between the 3′ flanks of rplB and rplV among the two types of mutations.
