Distribution of virulence-related functions in representative S. enterica subsp. diarizonae strains, including SBO13 and SBO27. a TBLASTN searches using as queries all the virulence factors available from VFDB (http://www.mgc.ac.cn/VFs/) excluding SPI1, SPI2 and those presents in plasmids. Proteins with 70% sequence identity were considered present and marked in blue. The color intensity represents the sequence coverage from 50 to 100% (complete protein). Proteins that did not fulfil the criteria outlined above, were considered absent, and marked in white. b Schematic representation of SlrP sequences found are represented as purple bars on the right panel. The protein domains of SlrP are represented as coloured boxes: type III secretion system leucine rich repeat region (TTSSLRR; D1 in red), Leucine rich repeat region (LRR; D2 in green) and C-terminal novel E3 ligase domain (NEL; D3 in yellow)
