Phylogenetic relationship of tosA-positive strains. Representative tosA-positive strains included in this study are marked with stars. The four main groups of E. coli (A, B1, B2, and D) and two groups of recombinants (ABD and AxB1) were assigned according to Wirth et al. (18). MLST complexes 73 and 14 are indicated next to representative isolates from each group. Sequences from Escherichia clade 1 isolates that do not group with phylogenetic groups A, B1, and B2 (D) or the hybrid groups AxB and ABD were used to root the dendrogram (42).
