pVIR1. The sizes and positions of the genes and insertion sequences are indicated. Filled bar, 7.5-kb insert cloned in the EcoRI site of pUC18Not. Restriction enzyme sites and open reading frames for IS1216V, erm(B), vat(E), and IS1542 are indicated. Only the sequence to the internal EcoRI site in IS1542 is present (asterisk). Arrowheads, orientations of the genes; arrows positions and orientations of the primers.
