Minimum-spanning tree of core-genome multilocus sequence type analysis of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheria, with 1,553 target loci of the whole-genome sequencing-obtained genomes of the toxigenic C. diphtheriae isolates from an outbreak in 2023 compared with genomes of an outbreak cluster of the same ST (ST574) from a previously reported outbreak among migrants (23). Single-linkage allelic distances are illustrated as a measure of genetic related. FaM, Frankfurt am Main; ST, sequence type.
