Distribution of IS629 and ISEc8 in the nine O157 genomes used in this study. The locations of IS629 and ISEc8 elements on each chromosome and plasmid are shown. (Black vertical lines) Insertion sites for IS629; (red lines) insertion sites for ISEc8; (blue rectangles) regions corresponding to prophages and phage-like integrative elements.
