Citrobacter rodentium is an Unstable Pathogen Showing Evidence of Significant Genomic Flux
Figure 3
Chromosomal rearrangements identified in C. rodentium isolates ICC169-407 and ICC169-496.
Deviations from (A) the sequence of the wild-type strain ICC168, are depicted. Rearrangements are highlighted in red and show: (B) genomic inversion between two copies of ISCro4; (C) genomic inversion between two identical sequences encoding Elongation factor Tu; (D) genomic inversion between identical repeat sequences encoding the T3SS effector NleD and an adjacent transposase; (E) translocation of sequence from one location to another due to recombination between identical sequences in two Rhs elements. The GC deviation (G−C)/(G+C) plot for each genome orientation is shown above each sequence.
