FIG 2.

Alignment of 127 E. faecium genomes. (A) Circular alignment of E. faecium genomes. The outside of the circle is the NRRL B-2354 reference genome to which the other genomes are aligned. Genes identified as potential VF in NRRL B-2354 are indicated. Loci unique to NRRL B-2354 are also indicated (SP1 to SP5). (B) Key to circular alignment map. Gene types and strain origins are depicted in the same order (outwards to inwards) in the circular map. AR, antibiotic resistance genes; VF, virulence factors; ME, mobile genetic elements.
