Figure 5. Diagram of the spa-sarS region showing the location of the 63 bp deletion (top panel) detected in a sub-lineage of 8325-4 strains.

Figure 5

The sarS transcriptional terminator as described in [28] is shown as a filled circle. Sequence analysis shows that the deletion arose by precise excision of sequence flanked by 14 bp direct repeats (bottom panel).
