Figure. Analysis of resistance plasmid pGW1 in Cronobacter sakazakii sequence type 256, isolated from neonate with meningitis, China, 2015, showing genetic organization of major drug-resistance determinants in pGW1, along with its structural comparison with that of p505108-MDR. The blaDHA-1 region (A) and multidrug-resistance region (B) of plasmid pGW1 are compared with those of plasmid p505108-MDR, unitig_2, or both. Black indicates genes encoding transposase, light gray indicates genes encoding integrase, dark gray indicates genes encoding drug resistance, and white indicates other genes. A few hypothetical genes with nucleotide sequences <200 bp are not shown. Shading denotes regions of homology (>95% nt identity); light gray shading indicates same orientation, and dark gray shading indicates reverse orientation. Numbers indicate nucleotide positions within the corresponding plasmids.
