Additional file 3: of In vivo competition and horizontal gene transfer among distinct Staphylococcus aureus lineages as major drivers for adaptational changes during long-term persistence in humans

Genomic organization of the 25.7 kb transposon. Genes on the forward strand are depicted as right-sided arrows; genes located on the reverse strand are depicted as left-sided arrows. The transposon inserted into the gene encoding the carboxylesterase type B, whose parts border the insertion element both up- and downstream. The inserted genes are highlighted in turquoise; the inverted repeats (IR) are marked with red and the direct repeats (DR) are highlighted with light blue. For each gene, the locus tags are given (see also Additional file 6 for further details). (PDF 57 kb)
