Sequence comparison of the genome of lineage L15 ETEC isolate 11573a-1 to the genomes of other representative CFA/I ETEC isolates. Protein-coding genes located on the chromosome and plasmids of the CFA/I ETEC isolate 11573a-1 were identified in the genomes of other CFA/I ETEC isolates using BLASTN LS-BSR (60). The data tracks are numbered 1 to 12 from the outer ring (ring 1) to the inner ring (ring 12). The outer eight tracks indicate the presence (blue), divergent similarity (yellow), and absence (red) of genes in eight ETEC genomes from lineage L15 as follows: 10754a-1 (track 1), 10802a (track 2), 710903 (track 3), 700384 (track 4), 600609 (track 5), 500469 (track 6), 320116 (track 7), and 300252 (track 8). Tracks 9 and 10 contain genomes of lineage L3 as follows: 310142 (track 9) and 620828 (track 10). Tracks 11 and 12 contain genomes of lineage L6 as follows: 102625 (track 11) and A44 (track 12).
