Structural comparison of strains MS5166, pKP3-A, and pT-OXA-181 in the ISEcp1-blaOXA-181 region (GenBank accession no. AB972272, JN205800, and JQ996150, respectively). Open reading frames (ORFs) are represented by pentagons. Nucleotide letters in squares represent direct or inverted repeats (shaded base pairs are identical, and white base pairs are different), and target site duplications (repeat regions) are represented in squares. Tn2013 in MS5166 was found to be located between bp 438346 and bp 438347 on the chromosome of the K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 genome (GenBank accession no. NC012731).
