From: Comparative genomics reveals a lack of evidence for pigeons as a main source of stx2f-carrying Escherichia coli causing disease in humans and the common existence of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing and enteropathogenic E. coli pathotypes

Fig. 5

Genome sizes of the most prevalent stx2f-carrying E. coli serotypes in comparison to various publicly available E. coli pathotypes (enterobase.warwick.ac.uk/species/index/ecoli). The numbers within the figure show the isolates included in each group. The light grey boxplots represent the human associated serotypes, while the dark grey ones show predominantly pigeon isolates. The white boxplots display various E. coli pathotypes; aEPEC: atypical Enteropathogenic E. coli, EIEC: Enteroinvasive E. coli, ExPEC; Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, UPEC: Uropathogenic E. coli, STEC: Shiga-toxin producing E. coli, ETEC: Enterotoxigenic E. coli
