FIG 2.

Schematic representation of the MGEs containing the sesJ gene in S. epidermidis MB1048 and MB1569. The previously described SCCmec type IVa from S. aureus CA05 is included for comparison. The region in light blue with a black border represents a region of at least 99% identity. Each ORF is represented by an arrow, with the direction of the arrow indicating the direction of transcription. Each group of genes is represented by a different color, as follows: pink, the set of genes, including sesJ, associated with DR_E, and brown, the ars operon. DRs are indicated as red flags pointing in the same direction as the DR, and the black line associated with the red flag represents the location of the DR.
