Comparison of the genetic contents of the E. coli H10407 chromosome with those of the chromosomes of other sequenced strains of E. coli. (A) Comparison of E. coli H10407 with the three nonpathogenic E. coli strains HS, C, and K-12 revealed that the four strains share a large proportion of common genes. Only 599 E. coli H10407-specific genes were identified. The E. coli H10407-specific CDSs are not thought to be associated with virulence (see the text for details). (B) Comparison of E. coli H10407 with the genome-sequenced ETEC strains E24377A and B7A. The four strains possess 3,553 genes in common; however, the ETEC strains share only 188 genes not present in the commensal strain E. coli HS. The latter genes are not unique to ETEC; they are widely distributed among E. coli strains and are largely present among nonpathogenic strains of E. coli, such as E. coli K-12.
