FIG 3.
Integron structures in clade F strains. (A) A complex transposon structure was inserted into the HUMC1 genome at coordinates 1513187 to 1528810 (GenBank accession number LQRQ01000007.1). A partial deletion of this region was found at the corresponding location in the GC1 strain AB0057 and in other GC2 strains, including TYTH-1, ACICU, and the clade F strain UH7007. Most clade F genomes carried only the integron (labeled “b”) and not the Tn6020 segment (labeled “a”) from HUMC1. Yellow arrows indicate copies of IS26. (B) Gene diagram corresponding to the region in purple in panel A. (C) The complex transposon structure from ABUH585 and other clade F genomes. This region is similar to the integron present in the TCDC-AB0715 genome at bases 274173 to 281008 under GenBank accession number CP002522.2. Resistance genes are in purple. The * gene in panel B is qacEΔ1.
