Large ~40 kb tandem duplication found in MS14413: Duplication of part of the capsule (k) region in the MS14413 complete genome (top line), resulting in three chromosomal copies of Tn2006 (third copy at alternate locus). This duplication appears to have arisen in some of the index patient isolates, but not other isolates involved in the outbreak (e.g. MS14407 concatenated draft genome, central line; vertical double black lines represent contig break in the draft assembly, presumed to be caused by the same IS as in MS14413). The wzy gene in the capsule region was found to be interrupted by an ISAba125 element, however a secondary wzy gene was identified at the start of the capsule region. Neither the ISAba125 insertion or secondary wzy gene is found in the KL12 capsule locus of A. baumannii strain D36 (bottom line).
