Figure 4 Virulence genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and their related genomes. The red color indicates that the presence of the virulence gene, whereas the pink color indicates the absence of the virulence gene in the genome. As the figure shows, CDC1551 Lacks genes pks1–15. BLM-A21 carries the pks1 gene but lacks pks15; nevertheless, the number of other virulence genes is essentially consistent with that of CDC1551 and H37Rv.
