Comparison of ODM-barcodes for plasmids harboring the blaCTX-M-14 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) Plasmid 14-1 is similar to 14-2. Plasmid 14-5 is not similar to any of the other plasmids encoding blaCTX-M-14. (b) Plasmids 14-3 and 14-4 are similar to each other and to plasmid 27-11, which encodes blaCTX-M-27 (ODM-plasmid group E).
