Figure 4

Diagrammatic representation of the mcbA, mcbB, mcbC, mcbI genes in the plasmids of the four M. catarrhalis isolates.
From the inside to the outside, the circles represent the sequences of plasmid pLQ510 (one of the two currently characterized M. catarrhalis plasmids), 11R4410, 13R13685, 13R13726 and 11XR1696. The colors green, purple, red and blue represent plasmid derived mcbA, mcbB, mcbC and mcbI genes, respectively.
