Plasmids in pv. piscis lineages and clades. The genes for conjugative transference, the survival in fish blood kit (ftpb and fpcrp), and the MARTX toxin are represented in green, red, and orange respectively, while the additional genes common to all pv. piscis plasmids are represented in brown. (A) Linear comparison among pCladeT and the original pv. piscis plasmids, pFv and pConj, performed with Easyfig [38]. (B) Ring representation of the pv. piscis plasmids from the clades and lineages emerged in the Eastern Mediterranean. From inside to outside, pL3 (used as reference; black ring), pClade A, pCladeT y pL5. The gene annotation of the pL3 is represented in the multicoloured external ring.
