(A) A BLASTn sequence alignment performed on a local machine that aligns epsilon toxin gene etx (NCBI accession: M95206.1) with PacBio-sequenced NCTC8503 previously assembled genome (ENA accession: SAMEA3879480; contig 5: nucleotide position 51607-52593). Only a point mutation at position 762 is detected with 100% coverage and > 99% sequence identity. (B) Toxin profile of NCTC8503 isolate, performed via sequence similarity search (“best-match” approach) pipeline ABRicate (https://github.com/tseemann/abricate; BLASTn-based tool) that confirmed the presence of etx gene in NCTC8503 genome with 99.90% identity (at 100% coverage).
