Abstract
Two-dimensional plot indicating the total number of related genes present (a) and breakdown of gene variants (b) in each CoNS genome. Gene variants were marked with the abbreviation VF, DF and PH, representing virulence factor, defence system and phage, respectively. Boxed numbers on the left represent VF categories; 1 = adherence/surface proteins, 2 = gene regulation, 3 = exoenzymes, 4 = iron acquisition, 5 = ABC permeases, 6 = host immune invasion, 7 = others. Red arrow-pointed genes were marker genes crucial to the definition of NRCS-A and proto groups.
