Fig 2.

eBURST analysis of the strains typed by MLST. ST-numbered circles represent the 33 STs identified among the 97 typeable strains. The size of the circle indicates the number of GRSE (black) and GSSE (white) strains. STs that are directly connected differ at only one single locus. STs previously reported elsewhere and not found in the present study are shown as light-gray dots (population snapshot, http://sepidermidis.mlst.net/). The asterisk indicates the GRSE strain resistant to vancomycin (MIC value = 8 mg/liter).
