From: Analysis for prevalence and physical linkages amongst integrons, ISEcp1, ISCR1, Tn21 and Tn7 encountered in Escherichia coli strains from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in Kenya during a 19-year period (1992–2011)

Figure 2

Schematic diagram illustrating examples of physical linkages amongst genetic elements and selected genes. 1a-1f: An example of physical linkages between bla genes and multiple genetic elements such as integrons, ISEcp1, and IS26. 2a-2b: An example of physical linkages between bla genes and ISEcp1. 3a-3d: An example of physical linkages between integrons and other genetic elements (such as the ISCR1 element) that are in turn linked to bla genes and (fluoro)quinolone resistant genes. 4a-4c: An example of physical linkages between Tn21 and integrons that are in turn be linked to IS elements. These illustrations are based on PCR mapping data and not sequencing. Therefore, the sizes of each gene and the distances between any two genes are not drawn to scale.
