Fig. 6. Phylogeny and global expansion of CRECs.

Fig. 6

The phylogenetic tree contains 268 representative CRECs from each branch of the evolutionary tree of 17 mainstream ST strains spanning 3–5 continents. a Heat map dendrogram indicated STs, hosts, time, geographic location, country income, pathogenicity, and resistance profiles for 268 CRECs. b Staining of evolutionary tree branches shows the source of 268 CRECs. Concentric circles in the phylogenetic tree of 268 CRECs represent various information including the year, location, plasmid replicons and resistance genes. c 268 CREC time-scale tree with host ancestral reconstruction. The branches were colored by the host with the highest probability, and arrows pointed to the main evolutionary jump between humans and animals or the environment. Key node time ranges were confidence intervals.
