Representation of the two conjugative transpsons in CGSP14. (A) Schematic portrayal of the 68-kb transposon in CGSP14. Genes are coloured according to their putative functions. Pink boxes represent genes associated with mobility. Yellow boxes represent antimicrobial resistance genes. Orange boxes represent genes with other known functions. Green boxes represent hypothetical proteins. (B) Comparison of the conjugative transposons in the G54 and Spn23F genomes with CGSP14. Red bands indicate BLAST matches between genomes in the same direction; blue bands indicate BLAST matches between genomes in opposite directions. (C) Schematic portrayal of the Tn3872-like transposon in CGSP14 and comparison of this conjugative transposon with Tn916. The genes, tetM, ermB, cat, sat, and aph-3, confer tetracycline and minocycline resistance, erythromycin resistance, chloramphenicol resistance, streptothricin resistance, and kanamycin resistance, respectively.
