Figure 1

Comparison between the draft genomes of Salmonella Virchow SVQ1 and Salmonella Virchow SL491. Regions of differences are shown as red boxes and labeled accordingly. Vertical blocks between the genomes represents regions of shared similarity according to BLASTn (Nucleotide identity >99%) [49]. The GC content for both genomes is shown as graphs, red indicates above average GC content while blue indicates below average GC content. Contig boundaries are marked with blue triangles. The resistance island carries the rmtC gene, which confers resistance to aminoglycosides [38]. The image was prepared using EasyFig [50].
