FIG. 2.

Alignment of the P5 H3 peptide from NTHi isolate UC19 with OprF peptide 10 from P. aeruginosa and the corresponding region in OmpA from E. coli. In order to identify the peptide 10-homologous region in P5, the sequences of P5 and OprF, together with OmpA, were aligned with the PileUp program (Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin, accessed through the Australian National Genomic Information Service). Gaps in the sequence, to create the alignment, are indicated with dots, and the numbers refer to the amino acid number in the preprotein.
