Polymorphism in the variable region of PIPEF in E. faecalis strains is related with phage HEf13 host specificity. (A) Multiple amino acid sequence alignment of the PIPEF variable region in 17 strains of E. faecalis was generated by Geneious 6.0.5 software. Difference in amino acid sequence of E. faecalis strains is presented in different colors. (B) Phylogenetic tree of PIPEF homologs was constructed by Neighbor-joining method with 1,000 replicates. Scale bar represents a 10% difference in sequence similarity between homologs. Strains are indicated by color as follows: clear-plaque-forming strain (red), turbid-plaque-forming strains (blue), and phage-resistant strains (black).
