A comparison of the CPS locus sequence between serotype 20 variant and wild type. These variants were initially detected by microarray as having unusual CPS genes and were further analysed by whole-genome sequencing. A comparative analysis of the CPS locus sequences between variants of serotype 20 and reference sequences CR931679 was performed using EasyFig [47]. The divergent gene(s) for the variant are highlighted in red. The serotype 20 variant [ERS096158] contained a 717 base pair gene deletion within the whaF gene compared to the reference (CR931679)
