Minimum spanning tree representing the genotypic diversity of 149 clinical A. flavus isolates and a reference isolate using microsatellite typing. The MST is based on a categorical analysis of the data. Each circle represents a unique genotype. The size of the circle corresponds to the number of isolates with the same genotype. The thickness and size of the connecting bars correspond to the number of different markers between linked genotypes. The black genotype is from the reference strain A. flavus NRRL 3357. Genotypes with a shaded background contain 2 or more isolates with identical genotypes or contain genotypes that differ in only 1 microsatellite marker as the possible result of microevolutionary events and are likely to be clonally related.
