Fig. 4From: Genomic characterization of nine Clostridioides difficile strains isolated from Korean patients with Clostridioides difficile infectionSchematic representation of the PaLoc region and lateral genes. The PaLoc consisting of the tcdR, tcdB, tcdE, tcdA, and tcdC genes in this order. a–f PaLoc with two hypothetical protein-coding genes between the tcdE and tcdA genes (a); one hypothetical protein-coding gene between tcdE and tcdA genes (b); one or two hypothetical protein-coding genes and the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) Tn6218 between tcdE and tcdA gene (c); five truncated tcdA genes (d); two truncated tcdC genes (e); and non-toxigenic strains (f). Strains CBA7201–CBA7209 isolated from Korean patients with CDI are highlighted in boldBack to article page
