Fig. 7. CREC transmission patterns of dominant STs on five continents.

a Dissemination patterns of ST131-CREC. b Dissemination patterns of ST167-CREC. c Dissemination patterns of ST410-CREC. The geographic spread of CREC has been inferred through ancestral state reconstruction of the timed phylogenetic tree. The thickness of the arrow lines is adjusted proportionally based on the number of transfers exchanged between countries. Time shows the transmission period of the geographical transfer of CRECs between each pair of countries. Intercontinental STs were classified as those with more than 10 CREC strains spreading across each continent. Countries indicated by red dots are those designated as having transmitted CRECs to five or more countries with a total of more than ten strains.
