Figure S1. Amino acid sequence alignment of VanSB encoded by M1/Y7 and the other VanB-type VRE. The genetic information for VanB-type vancomycin resistant enterococci was obtained from the genome database in NCBI ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov /). Alignments of VanSB amino acid sequence of wild M1/Y7 with typical VanB-type vancomycin resistant enterococci such as MLG229 (accession no.; AY655721.2), UW7606x64/3 TC1 (accession no.; CP013009.1), V583 (accession no.; NC_004668), Aus0085 (accession no.;NC_021994.1) and BM4661 (accession no.; FJ767776.1) were carried out using ClustalW. A box indicated the unique substitution to M1 /Y7 strains. (DOCX 116 kb
