Genetic environment of cfr in p7LC. The cfr gene is shown in black. All of the other genes associated with the pSS-01-like element (gray) that are nearly identical between p7LC and pSS-01 are shown by open arrows. The genes at the insertion site of the element in p7LC are shown by diagonally hatched arrows. The Tn558 transposase gene in the 3′-flanking region of the insertion site in pSS-01 is shown vertically hatched. The extended 5′-flanking sequence in pSS-01 is unknown; the immediate 5′-flanking sequence does not show homology to the site of insertion in p7LC. The left (IRL) and right (IRR) IS256 inverted repeats are shown by arrows. The long inverted repeats at the site of the cassette insertion are indicated by open triangles. The gene sizes (in bp) are indicated below the genes; the sizes of intergenic regions are indicated above.
