Figure 3. Frequency (proportion) of carriage of the sopE gene in Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- epidemic isolates from the United Kingdom and Italy for each year during 2005–2010. The presence of the sopE gene was detected in draft genome assemblies by sequence comparison or by PCR amplification of genomic DNA by using primers specific for the sopE gene of randomly selected monophasic isolates from each year. The number of isolates investigated for each year is indicated above the bar.
