Minimum spanning tree of Korean isolates by MLST profiles of antigenic determinant genes. A minimum spanning tree was constructed by sequence type profiles deriving from antigenic determinant genes. Lines-circles indicate sequence type; numbers in parentheses are the number of strains included in each sequence type. Dots-circles indicate the clonal complex confirmed by BURST analysis. Because the distance between AST4 with AST3 was too long, we omitted (asterisk). AST2 was newly appearing sequence type when the pertussis incidence was greatly increased.
