Mobile genetic element | Characteristics | Reference |
LESGI-1 | Not unique to LES isolates Contains one of the LES markers, LESF9 | [48, 49] |
LESGI-2 | Contains pyoluteorin biosynthesis cluster | [48] |
LESGI-3 | Related to PAGI-2 identified in clone C Alternative cargo region that contains the LES marker, PS21 | [48, 50, 51] |
LESGI-4 | Similarity to PAGI-1 | [48, 52] |
LESGI-5 | Novel genomic island found in most LES isolates Majority are hypothetical proteins | [48] |
LESpro 1 | Defective prophage proposed to encode an R2 pyocin Homologous sequence in PAO1 | [48, 53] |
LESpro 2 | Novel, inducible prophage 42.1 kb, 44 predicted ORFs Some homology to phage F10 | [48, 54] |
LESpro 3 | Novel, inducible prophage 42.8 kb with 53 ORFs, many of which match to ORFs in P. aeruginosa strain 2192 | [48, 55] |
LESpro4 | Inducible prophage highly related to the transposable phage D3112 Novel region of five ORFs which includes the cI repressor gene | [48, 56] |
LESpro 5 | Inducible prophage with some similarity to D3 phage however there are major rearrangements and novel areas Not found in all LES isolates | [48, 57] |
LESpro 6 | Pf1-like phage similar to Pf1 in PAO1 | [48, 58] |
