Fig. 4From: Unidirectional animal-to-human transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in pig farming; evidence from a surveillance study in southern ItalyMultiple whole-genome alignment of MRSA from farms 01CZ and 32RC. Fully assembled sequences were compared with ProgressiveMauve using default parameters. The figure was generated by MAUVE viewer. Boxes with identical colours represent local colinear blocks (LCB), i.e. homologous DNA regions without sequence rearrangements shared by two or more genomes. LCBs reported below the horizontal axis represent reverse complements of the arbitrary chosen reference LCB (01CZ001M). White-filled portions denote areas of low similarity. Boxes define the ca. 43-kb region that was absent in 01CZ001U and partly conserved in 32RC002MBack to article page
