The HL1 SCCmec IVa element and the adjacent unique downstream region are compared to the SCCmec IVa elements of USA300 and USA400. SCCmec regions are shaded in grey boxes. Colored internal boxes in the case of HL1 show differing regions. Regions present in USA300 and USA400, but absent from HL1 are in dark grey, internal boxes. Solid grey bar, class B mec region; dotted grey bar, left extremity (L–C) region. Rep, replication protein; Mob, plasmid mobilization protein; Bleo-Resis, bleomycin resistance protein; Kan Nucl-T, kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase; (R), (R)-specific enoyl-CoA-hydratase; HMGCoA, hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase; ACME, arginine catabolic mobile element (downstream of SCCmec in USA300).
