Fig 2. Distribution of virulence plasmids among the Chilean ETEC isolates.

Fig 2

Heat maps indicate the presence of the virulence plasmids A) p10802a_92 and B) p10802a_46 among the Chilean ETEC and reference ETEC isolates analyzed in this study. The predicted protein-coding genes of each plasmid were identified using BLASTN LS-BSR [48] as previously described [43]. Each row represents an individual genome that is labeled on the left side by its ETEC toxin content as having the heat labile toxin (LT), heat stable toxin (ST), both LT and ST, or neither LT nor ST. Each column represents a different protein-coding gene of the reference plasmid being compared. Virulence factors of interest are indicated by a red box. A dashed line box indicates a group of genomes that contain all or nearly all of the plasmid genes.
