Comparison of ICEKp in the study strain KpRR2 with the first characterized ICEKp in strain NTUH-K2044, and with the yersiniabactin gene cluster in Yersinia pestis. The first characterization of ICEKp in K. pneumoniae was in strain Kp NTUH-K2044 (Lin et al., 2008). Yellow shading indicates the synteny and 99% DNA identity between the yersiniabactin gene cluster in the study strain KpRR2 and that in Yersinia pestis (AF091251) High Pathogenicity Island (HPI). The genes cluster responsible for conjugation are indicated by blue shading region, these share 94% identity.
