Comparison of ODM-barcodes for plasmids harboring the blaCTX-M-27 gene. The plasmids are grouped based on similarity and the plasmids from the most recent isolates are at the top of each subfigure. The black dots indicate the location of the CTX-M gene (a) blaCTX-M-27-encoding plasmids with similar barcodes (ODM-plasmid group D). (b) blaCTX-M-27-encoding plasmids not included in the ODM-plasmid group D. Two with similar barcodes (27-8 and 27-9) are shown at the bottom and the rest had nonsimilar barcodes.
