Pyrosequencing-based comparative genome analysis of the nosocomial pathogen Enterococcus faecium and identification of a large transferable pathogenicity island

Table 3 CDS of bacteriophage origin in the sequenced genomes

Strain	Number of CDS of bacteriophage origin^a	Number of genome-specific CDS of bacteriophage origin^a
E980	148 (5.2)	89 (3.1)
E1039	115 (4.4)	56 (2.2)
E1071	63 (2.3)	40 (1.5)
E1162	86 (3.2)	29 (1.1)
E1636	101 (3.4)	32 (1.1)
E1679	149 (4.9)	60 (2.0)
U0317	117 (3.9)	32 (1.1)

^aValues in brackets denote the percentage of CDS relative to the total number of CDS in the genome. A CDS was scored as unique for a specific genome when the encoded protein did not have a BLAST-hit with 90% amino acid identity or higher in any of the other sequenced isolates.
