From: Clostridium difficile clade 3 (RT023) have a modified cell surface and contain a large transposable island with novel cargo

Figure 3

RT023 strains can contain a large novel genomic insertion at the 630_CTn2 site. Analysis of genomic insertions shows a large transposable region in most strains of clade 3. (a) Schematic demonstrating the insertion site in strain CD305 and the empty site within strains 91 and 108698. Grey genes 02396 and 02500 are found within the core genome, with blue genes 02397 and 02499 representing the 5′ and 3′ termini of 023_CTnT. Sequence analysis of the empty site and 5′/3′ sequence of CD305 are shown. (b) Phylogenetic tree demonstrating the clustering of clade 3 strains from this study coloured according to presence (blue) and absence (red) of the transposon region.
