Circular presentation of the mcr-1 containing IncX4 plasmid in the colistin susceptible E.coli.
In green the mcr-1 sequence. In red the IS10R insertion sequence, interrupting the mcr-1 gene at position 572. Arrows indicate open reading frames (ORFs), dark blue ORFs with annotation, light blue ORFs without annotation (hypothetical protein). Numbers indicate nucleotide positions.
