Genomic analysis of C. sordellii isolate. A schematic showing the depth of sequencing reads from strain 24,178 (blue) that mapped to the genome of C. sordellii reference strain ATCC9714 and the two toxin-encoding plasmids (pCS1 and pCS2). The numbers indicate base pair position. No reads aligned to pCS1 or pCS2 (highlighted in green and brown), although reads were found that mapped to the putative virulence factors highlighted in red; sordellilysin (sdl), neuraminidase (nanS), and phospholipase C (csp) (a). A cladogram of publicly available genomes for human (red circles) and veterinary isolates (blue squares) indicates that strain 24,178 (red box) is closely related to two livestock samples (W3026 and W2948). There is strong node support to suggest that this cluster does not sit within any of the four classical clades (support values are shown at the corresponding node if above 0.8 and the scale bar denotes nucleotide changes per position) (b)
