Fig. 5

a The co-occurrence patterns of identified phage defense systems within each genome of A. baumannii are shown by circos plot. Each segment represents a different phage defense system, and they are colored for ease of identification. The connecting lines (chords) express how often these systems occurred as paired at the hotspots between all the segments of this combination. The weight corresponds to the likelihoods, with heaver lines representing stronger associations. b Correlation matrix of different phage defense systems. The yellow background indicates significant correlations (P < 0.05). The size and color of the circles represent the p-value of the correlations, with the color scale ranging from blue (mutually exclusive) to red (co-occurrence). Larger circles indicate more significant p-values. The colors of the defense systems represent different categories of functional mechanisms.
