FIG 1.

Genome analysis of 90 S. aureus isolates recovered from the Middle East. (A) The pangenome. Each ring corresponds to a single genome. Each radial extension in the ring corresponds to the presence (black) or absence (light gray) of a given gene cluster (homologous gene). The bar charts list the number of genes identified in the given genome (top) and the number of singleton genes or genes that are unique to the given genome (bottom). The pangenome of these 90 isolates contained 4,283 genes, the core genome included 1,501 single-copy-number genes, and the accessory genome contained 2,178 genes. (B) Functionality of genes contained within the core genome. The same autolysin gene (atl) found in the core genome of S. haemolyticus was found in S. aureus.
