Genomic surveillance of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium reveals spread of a linear plasmid conferring a nutrient utilization advantage

Raw<b> </b>data<b> </b>for the growth curves of the paper<b> </b>and three additional figures<b><br></b><b><br></b><b>Figure legends</b>:<b> </b>Growth_M1_PM1: Growth in M1 supplemented with 95 single carbon sources (PM1 BioLog Inc). The mean of three biological replicates for each representative isolate is displayed, with the standard error of mean shaded. Conditions are ordered alphabetically, blank well (only M1) is also shown (second row, third column).<br>Growth_M1_PM2A: Growth in M1 supplemented with 95 single carbon sources (PM2A BioLog Inc). The mean of three biological replicates for each representative isolate is displayed, with the standard error of mean shaded. Conditions are ordered alphabetically, blank well (only M1) is also shown (second row, eleventh column).<br><br>Growth_BHI: Growth curves based on optical density measurements (OD₆₀₀) every 10min during 24h for the isolates of the persistent clone (<b>A</b>);<b> </b>and the recipient and transconjugant (<b>B</b>). The average of three biological replicates is shown. Standard error of mean is shown with a shaded area in <b>B</b> and omitted in <b>A</b> for better visibility. <i> </i>
