The genome information includes drug resistance genetic traits (related structures and mutations), virulence genes, superantigen-associated phages, and plasmids. The 16K genome contigs, obtained by pyrosequencing, were mapped on the 3,043,210-bp TW20 genome (GenBank accession number FN433596; shown as a circle). The information on the 16K and TW20 genomes is presented outside and inside the genome circle, respectively. Colored regions in the 16K genome map: green, highly homologous to TW20; yellow, non- or less homologous to TW20; blue, slightly divergent from TW20; brown, insertion. Drug resistance (r): Oxa, oxacillin; Tet, tetracycline; Min, minocycline; Rif, rifampicin; Lvx, levofloxacin; Chl, chloramphenicol; Ery, erythromycin; Spt, spectinomycin; Gen, gentamicin; Kan, kanamycin; Amp, ampicillin; Ery, erythromycin. MDR, multiple drug resistance. The three plasmids of strain 16K are shown at the right bottom of the figure. The CC30 and CC8 genome sections are from Holden et al. [8].
