Figure 3

Prophage architecture for most espW-containing isolates from a genomic characterization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 associated with multiple sources, United States. This locus was annotated using PROKKA version 1.14.5 (https://github.com/tseemann/prokka) and represents a 47,078-bp sequence of Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O157:H7 PNUSAE013304 (BioSample accession no. SAMN0896444; SRA accession no. SRR7050023) from positions 2577206–2624283. Arrows indicate genes and their direction indicates the DNA strand. att sites were annotated by PHASTER (https://phaster.ca) and are shown in yellow. Genes are colored on the basis of the category assigned by PHASTER: teal indicates phage tail; orange indicates phage-like proteins; pink indicates transposases, integrases, or recombinases; blue indicates phage lysis proteins; gray indicates tRNA; and maroon indicates genes that were not categorized by PHASTER. espW is highlighted in green. IS, insertion.
