Gene elements near the sul1 g ene. Two copies of the sul1 gene were observed in LCT-KP289, but only one copy was observed in LCT-KP214. We observed two integrases in the vicinity of the sul1 gene in LCT-KP214 and LCT-KP289. Between these genes, other resistance genes, such as ant, which confers resistance to spectinomycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, kanamycin, sisomicin, dibekacin and gentamicin, were observed. The gene ampC, which confers resistance to penicillin, cephalosporin-ii and cephalosporin-I, was also observed near the sul1 gene. The different-colored arrows indicate the direction and length of the genes.
