Figures

FIG. 1.
FIG. 1.
Dendrogram for chromosomal and plasmid-encoded AmpC β-lactamases, calculated by Clustal X (34) and the neighbor-joining method (73). Branch lengths are proportional to the number of amino acid exchanges. GenBank accession numbers for blaAmpC can be found at http://www.rochester.edu/College/BIO/labs/HallLab/AmpC_Phylo.html
FIG. 2.
FIG. 2.
Comparative genetic organization of plasmid-encoded ampC genes related to the chromosomal β-lactamase gene of C. freundii. Adjacent nucleotide homology is that available for each gene and may be more extensive if carried further.
FIG. 3.
FIG. 3.
Structure of the integron coding for DHA-1 β-lactamase in pSAL-1 and its relationship to genes on the chromosome of M. morganii.
FIG. 4.
FIG. 4.
Comparison of the sequence between common regions of In7, In6, pSAL-1 (DHA-1), pROT (DHA-1), pGC-2 (FOX-4), pMVP-1 (CMY-1), pKPW142 (CMY-8), and pRMOX-1 (MOX-1).
