Fig. 1.

Schematic of variable CPS loci from representative Penner serotypes. CPS loci were sequenced from the strains listed in Table 1. Gene names were attributed if the predicted protein showed >80% sequence identity with other known C. jejuni proteins. Genes are color coded as shown in the key to the figure on the basis of best homology to any predicted protein in databases by BLAST analyses. Genes containing homopolymeric tracts of >8 G or C residues are marked with an asterisk.
