Alignment of the BimABp and BimC types identified in clinical B. pseudomallei isolates. (a) Alignment of B. pseudomallei BimABp types depicting the variations observed between types 1 and 10 compared to BimABm MSHR668 23 located at the bottom of the alignment. (b) Alignment of B. pseudomallei BimC types depicting the variations observed between types 1 and 5. B. pseudomallei K96243, classified as type 1 was used as the reference strain. Multiple sequence alignment was performed using ClustalW40.
