Comparison of the cps gene clusters from K. pneumoniae strains of CG258. The order of the pairwise comparisons is defined by the phylogenetic relationships. Locus types KL47 and KL64 correspond to serotypes K47 and K64, respectively. K types KL103, KL125 and KL105 are locus types which have not been phenotypically defined and are defined from DNA sequence data on the basis of gene content [32]. Sequence origins, accession numbers and STs for the respective strains are indicated. Arrows indicate the direction, relative length and function of ORFs. The cps loci of K. pneumoniae strains ATCC BAA-2146 and BO4 were downloaded from the NCBI database and used as references for the comparison. ORFs encoding transposases are colored in red, while those encoding non-initial glycosyltransferases are colored in blue. HP, CL and PLSP are short for hypothetical protein, carbohydrate lyase and pectate lyase superfamily protein, respectively. Homologous regions are connected by areas of different colors reflecting the degree of nucleotide identity (from 64 to 100 %).
