Comparison of the newly sequenced S. flexneri 2 strains. A General features of the S. flexneri 2 CI133 and CI172 genomes of sequences. B Comparison between CI133 and CI172 strains genome sequences. The strains are represented by the circumference, while the red ribbons represent the alignments of 100% identity performed by BLAST, the width indicate the alignment length. When the alignment is in opposite orientation of the DNA sequence is indicated by twisted lines in grey colors. C Venn diagram of S. flexneri 2 CI133 and CI172 strains, showing 4,194 shared CDSs at the intersection, the 111 strain specific genes of CI133 represented with an orange circle and the 74 strain specific genes of C172 represented with a green circle
