Comparative analysis of rep gene sequences identifies plasmid pGK1025B_3 as a unique category of conjugative plasmid in Enterobacteriaceae: A nearest neighbor joining phylogenetically tree was developed using a BLASTn analysis with the rep gene (gene locus CP078109) from Cronobacter sakazakii strain MOD1-GK1025B plasmid pGK1025B_3, complete sequence. This rep gene from this plasmid grouped separately and uniquely when compared to rest of the rep gene sequences from the other microorganisms. The top cluster contains the query (shown with an asterisk) and the same sequence as the unique hit. The parameters used to develop the tree included the rep (CP078109.1) gene from pGK1025B_3 in a BLASTn analysis against a database represented by Enterobacteriaceae and related endosymbionts (NCBI taxid:91347) using NCBI’s nearest neighbor algorithm. Bar marker represents 0.01 bp substitutions
