Phylogenetic tree of the spa types was constructed by using MEGA version 5. The tree was produced based on the cost matrix for the distances of spa types. The cost “6” parameter for the BURP clustering was used in this figure. The circle indicates the major infection PFGE cluster. spa-CCs and the represented ST (CC) are indicated. NF (no founder) indicates clusters without group founders.
