Genome comparison of S. enterica subsp. diarizonae SBO13 to nine genomes from representative Salmonella species, subspecies and serovars. (A) The innermost rings show diarizonae SBO13 genome position (kbp = kilo base pairs); G + C content (black). The remaining rings (from ring 3 to ring 12) correspond to the genomes of diarizonae strains SBO27, HZS154, MZ0080, SA20044251, 11–01855, 11–01854 and 11–01853; S. bongori NCTC-12419; Typhi CT18, and Typhimurium SL1344. BLASTN matches with an identity between 50 and 100% are colored in gradient, while nonmatching regions appeared as blank spaces in each ring. The outer ring contains genomic islands (GIs) predicted for diarizonae SBO13 with Islandviewer4 (http://www.pathogenomics.sfu.ca/islandviewer/). (B) Detail of a GI-6 fragment of the diarizonae SBO13 genome showing unique genes and genes shared exclusively with diarizonae HZS154, a human isolate reported in China. Highlighted with their corresponding gene numbers are the genes of this GI-6 cited in the text
