Evolutionary relationships and relatedness of MLST types using the eBURST algorithm in the PHYLOViZ software (http://www.phyloviz.net/). The identified MLST types belonged to two groups “profiles match 3 loci to any other member of the group“ of STs (group 1: ST383, ST101, ST231, ST6118 and group 2: ST515, ST11, ST751, ST1087, ST6119, ST458, ST1128, ST38) and three singleton STs (ST1777, ST147, ST39). The lengths of connecting branches between the STs are arbitrary. The dashed lines divide the diagram in groups as the STs are divided into 2 groups and 3 singletons. The darker shade of the ST indicates the ancestor STs of the tree. The strains were divided into two groups according to the relatedness to each other, whether they were within SLV, DLV or TLV of other STs
