Table 6.
Genes are color coded according to their amino acid similarity to the reference strain LT2. Sections denoted with white indicate that no open reading frame (ORF) was present. The SPI-3 region between STM3752 and rhuM as well as siiA, B and E in SPI-4 was among the most variable. In SPI-5, the pip operon exhibited the highest level of amino acid variation.
