Nucleotide sequence alignments of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity islands from the genomes of three clinical STEC O45:H2 strains (SJ7 (sequenced in this study), FWSEC003, and 2011C-4251), and two clinical STEC O103:H2 strains (12009 and 2015C-3163) using the MAFFT algorithm. The consensus identity of the alignment of five LEE pathogenicity islands indicates the mean pairwise nucleotide sequence identified for all pairs in the column: green = 100% identity; green-brown = <100% but >30% identity; and red = <30% identity. Virulence genes within the sequence of each LEE pathogenicity island (black) are annotated and colored (yellow).
