Figure 3From: Genome plasticity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus: microevolution of the 'pandemic group'Proposed evolutionary relatedness between old-O3:K6, intermediate-O3:K6, and new-O3:K6 and its serovariants. Stepwise acquisition of genomic islands and the differentiation of O/K antigen genes promote the microevolution of the pandemic group (clone).Back to article page
