Figure 1

Comparative analysis of fosA3-carrying IncFII plasmids pYHCC with pXZ. Open reading frames are indicated by arrows and colored according to their putative functions: magenta arrows indicate genes involved in replication; blue arrows indicate genes associated with plasmid conjugal transfer. Brown arrows indicate genes involved in plasmid stability; red arrows indicate antimicrobial drug resistance genes; green arrows indicate accessory genes of mobile elements; gray arrows indicate other backbone

Figure 1. Comparative analysis of fosA3-carrying IncFII plasmids pYHCC with pXZ. Open reading frames are indicated by arrows and colored according to their putative functions: magenta arrows indicate genes involved in replication; blue arrows indicate genes associated with plasmid conjugal transfer. Brown arrows indicate genes involved in plasmid stability; red arrows indicate antimicrobial drug resistance genes; green arrows indicate accessory genes of mobile elements; gray arrows indicate other backbone genes and inserted foreign genes. Light blue shading indicates shared backbone regions with a high degree of homology. MRR, multidrug resistance region.
