Figure 1. eBURST population snapshot of the eMLST database.

Figure 1

A total of eight clonal complexes, where isolates share 7/8 loci with at least one other eST in the group, and 21 singletons were identified. The frequency of each eST is indicated by the area of each circle. Type IA1 isolates are represented by CC1, CC3, CC4 and 11 singletons; type IA2 by CC2 and two singletons, type IB by CC5 and one singleton; type II by CC6, CC69 and six singletons; type III by CC77 and one singleton. Founding genotypes are highlighted in blue and sub-founders in yellow. eSTs only isolated from healthy skin are circled in green. Note, the spacing between singletons and clonal complexes is not related to the genetic distance between them. Culture collection strain NCTC737 (type IA1) is represented by eST1 (ST18, Arahus), KPA171202 by eST5 (ST36, Arahus), CCUG32901 by eST5 (ST36, Arahus) and ATCC11828 by eST27 (novel ST, Arahus).
