FIG 1.

Comparison of p42-2 MRR with other plasmids containing the same resistance modules. The extents and directions of antibiotic resistance genes (dark arrows) and other selected genes (gray arrows) are indicated by labeled arrows (hypothetical proteins [HPs] are indicated by black boxes). The insertion elements (ISs) are shown as dotted arrows labeled with their number/name, and Δ represents a truncated gene. The plasmid backbone is indicated by dark lines. Light-gray shading and oblique dotted lines between two regions indicate the regions with homology. Diagrams are drawn from sequences available under GenBank accession numbers KT990220 for p42-2, CP009414 for pCFSAN007428_01, KC853434 for pACN001-A, KJ020575 for pHNFP460-1, and JN232517 for pHN7A8.
