Figure 4. Recombination events detected in the pspA gene of 72 strains using the recombination detection package.

Figure 4

Two recombination events are not shown in the figure as they could not be mapped to the corresponding TIGR4 PspA sequence. One of these events was detected only in one strain PA179 with nucleotide coordinates 178 to 389. The second event with coordinates 1128 to 1178 was detected in five strains. Two strains of ST81-complex (PA195 and PA189) were excluded because of low sequence coverage (Table S3). The nucleotide coordinates and protein domains of the pspA gene are shown at the top and bottom of the figure. a Number (percent) of 72 strains with this recombination event. b Among ST-complexes that included ≥3 strains: percent of strains belonging to specific ST-complex with recombination event, PspA clade designation(s). c SP: signal peptide, A: ∼first 100 residues of mature protein, A*: transition zone between A and B, B: clade-defining region, C: proline rich (PR) and non-proline rich (NPR) regions, CB: choline binding domain.
