Comparison of common identical nucleotide blocks between the plasmids of four isolates. The image was created using DNA Features Viewer. A minimum length of 1000 bp was required for a common block. Location of resistance conveying genes was added. Patient C and Room 6–1 (NDM-5-EC ST167) plasmids share large common blocks (block 2 and 3), while Patient F and room 2–1 (NDM-5-EC ST617) plasmids share a common plasmid backbone (block 1 and 4). Some resistance gene cassettes, including blaNDM-5, are common to all four plasmids (block 5 and 6)
