BLAST map showing ACME deletion in the USA300 isolates from Chicago household 9033. The map was generated by the CCT, which uses all-versus-all BLAST and arranges the genomes compared according to their homology with reference genomes (the reference genome here is TCH1516, which is shown in the outermost two rings). Each ring is a genome (isolate), as indicated. As shown, one isolate in household 9033 (the outermost blue ring) was ACME positive, while the remaining isolates had this element deleted. Strain Newman also lacks ACME (shown as the green ring). FPR3757 was included here as another ACME-positive USA300 reference strain.
