From: Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis related Enterococcus cecorum isolates are genetically distinct from the commensal population and are more virulent in an embryo mortality model

Figure 2

Heat map of potential virulence factors detected by PCR. Columns show individual genes (18 potential virulence genes), rows are individual E. cecorum isolates. Each tile in the matrix represents the single virulence gene, with presence of a virulence gene as a black tile, and absence as a white tile. Forty-four isolates were tested, out of which F.-.3; F.-.5; D.5.20; F.1.27; E.7.38; A.3.41; E.2.48; G.2.59; D.13.80; H.1.93; C.1.95; J.1.106; J.3.110; P.1.113; P.2.115 isolated from sites of isolation of diseased flocks, F.-.6; F.-.7; F.-.12; D.2.22; D.4.24; D.5.25; E.1.46; D.7.70; D.12.79; H.2.87; H.3.89; C.1.96; C.2.98; C.3.100; C.4.102; C.5.104; J.1.105; J.2.107; P.1.111; P.3.117; M.3.120 isolated from caeca/colon of diseased flocks, R.1.33; K.1.65; K.2.66; L.1.67; N.1.85; I.1.123; O.1.127; O.2.128 isolated from caeca of non-affected flocks.
