Figure 2From: Sulphonamide resistant commensal Neisseria with alterations in the dihydropteroate synthase can be isolated from carriers not exposed to sulphonamidesAmino acid sequences of DHPS from Neisseria Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences from internal fragments of folP-genes from Neisseria: a) isolate 10B:1 (SuR clone I); b) isolate 102A:2 (SuR clone III); c) isolate 102A:1 (SuR clone II); d) isolate 102A:3 (SuS); e) isolate 10C:1 (SuS); f) isolate 102B:3 (SuS); g) N. meningitidis 3976 (SuR)[1]; h) N. meningitidis BT054 (SuS)[5]; i) N. mucosa; j) N. subflava; k) N. sicca. Amino acid residues discussed in the text are bolded and marked with * below the sequences. Accession numbers in the EMBL database are AJ457071, AJ457074, AJ457073, AJ457075, AJ457072, AJ457076, X87405, X68067, AJ457077, AJ457079 and AJ457078, respectively.Back to article page
