Fig. 2From: Key features of mcr-1-bearing plasmids from Escherichia coli isolated from humans and foodSequencing alignment of IncX4-type mcr-1-harboring plasmids. The mcr-1 harboring plasmid, pmcr-1_X4 (Accession-Nr. KU761327), which was obtained from two Klebisiella pneumonia isolates and one Escherichia coli isolate from patients in eastern China and which was one of the first sequenced IncX4 mcr-1 positive plasmids, was used as reference plasmid (black circle). The outmost circle in grey arrows shows the annotations of the reference plasmid. The insertions element and the mcr-1 gene were highlighted in orange and red arrows, respectively. The figure indicates the high degree of homology of the mcr-1 harboring IncX4 plasmids independently of their isolation source and geographical originBack to article page
