Figure 1.

Comparison of linear maps of the bla_NDM-1-carrying IncX3 plasmids. The complete sequence of pIncX-SHV was used as the reference. Open reading frames (ORFs) are shown as arrows to indicate the direction of transcription and are colored in accordance with their predicted gene functions. Homologous segments (representing ≥98% sequence identity) are indicated by light gray shading. Regions are drawn to scale from accession numbers pIncX-SHV (JN247852), pNDM-HN380 (JX104760), and pRJA274 (KF877335). The alignment is a pairwise BLASTn alignment performed using Easyfig.
