Figure 3. Locations of regions encoding the domains and carbapenem-associated kmers in the adhesin gene, and between-species alignment of nucleotide sequences adjacent to the adhesin-associated region.

The red vertical lines indicate the statistically significant kmers that were mapped to the genome of at least one of the four resistant strains (AB030, AC29, ACICU, and MDR-TJ), including the three overlapping kmers that mapped to the adhesin-associated region of all four genomes (orange). The red and orange horizontal lines in the alignment indicate the positions of the three overlapping kmers, and the predicted Ca²⁺-stabilized adhesin, respectively.
