Genome alignments using blast ring generator (BRIG) and multiple alignment of conserved genomic sequence (MAUVE). (A) Overview of the completely closed genomes of the analyzed ST5 MRSA using BRIG. The color circles represent the genomes of each sequenced strain. The outer black circle represents the GC content and the inner the reference genome of the archetypal CA-MRSA strain MW2. Circular maps of ST5 genomes obtained from ST5 MRSA strains collected from canines (SA112—red circle) and humans (CR14-035—blue circle). The reference genome was the genome of the SA112. (B) Alignment between whole genomes of ST5 MRSA strains SA112 (from canine) and CR14-035 (from human) using MAUVE. Note that only four local collinear blocks were identified, with a translocation of the smallest block (represented by the green line).
