Genomic structures of MGEs carrying major virulence genes. a Genomic structures of Stx phages and LT2 phages. The genome structures of Stx2a, Stx2g and LT2 phages of the C-I strains whose complete genome sequences were determined are drawn to scale. Phages of E. coli strains are also shown for comparison. Homologous regions are indicated by shading, and sequence identities are indicated by different colours. Integration sites and sequence lengths of each phage are also indicated. b Circular maps of the virulence plasmids in the C-I strains 10,290 and HH-P024. c Dot-plot matrices of the completed C-I virulence plasmid sequences. Virulence plasmids of ETEC strains (E24377A and H10407) and a STEC O157 strain (Sakai) are also included for comparison
