Figure

Circular map of the mecB-carrying plasmid pSAWWU4229_1 from Staphylococcus aureus isolate UKM4229, obtained from a 67-year-old cardiology inpatient who had no signs of infection, Münster, Germany. Arrows indicate annotated genes: the mec-complex is noted in green, antibiotic-resistance genes in red, transposase/integrase genes in orange, other genes with known function in violet, and other genes with unknown function in gray.
