FIG 1.

Structural comparison of the phi3 genomes of the phi3-positive LA-MRSA (strain numbers on the left) performed by Easyfig software. Gray areas represent regions with nucleotide sequence similarities ranging between 72% and 100%. The integrase and antirepressor genes (lysogeny module) are shown in blue, the replication protein (dnaD or dnaC), UTPase genes, and the portal protein (DNA metabolism and DNA packaging modules) are shown in red, holin and amidase (lysis module) are shown in orange, and IEC genes (IEC type on the right) are shown in yellow.
