Figure 3. Genome similarities to the Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 genomic islands and the C1-M27 clade–specific region. Rings drawn by BRIG show the presence of these regions. Colored segments indicate >90% similarity and gray segments indicate >70% similarity by BLAST comparison between the regions of interest and each genome. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase types are indicated in parentheses of Type column. The regions from Flag2 to GI-lueX were found in EC958, the prophage 8 region was found in JJ1886, and the M27PP1 and M27PP2 were found as the C1-M27 clade–specific regions in this study. Prophage 6, capsule, GI-selC, and prophage 8 regions were present in some C2/H30Rx isolates but were absent in C1/H30R isolates.
