Multisequence alignment of KpACE homologues in different <i>K</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> serotypes.

<p>(<b>A)</b> The distribution of KL-serotypes of 1503 <i>K</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> strains harboring KpACE homologues. 1503 KpACE homologues were retrieved from the NCBI database as detailed in the Materials and Methods section. The K-serotype of each strain was determined using the Kleborate tool, which performed K-locus typing based on their genomic sequences. KL-types with a count of less than 30, combined together as ’others’, were not included. (<b>B)</b> The multisequence alignment of KpACE homologues from representative <i>K</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> K-serotypes. The alignment was created and visualized using DNAMAN 9.0 software. The identity of the ten KpACE homologues is 99.85%. Amino acid residues that are identical across sequences are represented in black text on a white background, while mutation residues are depicted as black text on a pink background.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
