Nucleotide sequence of the region between the septicolysin and Ton-B dependent receptor genes of Acinetobacter baumannii in plasmids pMMA2 and pMMCU3 from clone AbH12O-A2 (upper panel) and AbH12O-CU3 (lower panel), respectively. Integrated insertion sequence 4 (IS4) (red letters) provided a new promoter sequence for septicolysin in plasmid pMMA2 from clone AbH12O-A2. Upper case letters indicate amino acids. IRL, inverted repeated left sequence; IRR, inverted repeated right sequence from IS4; Sto
