Scatter plots comparing in vitro growth parameters and carriage/disease ratios. In each panel, the logarithm of the corresponding carriage/disease ratio is depicted for each clonal complex on the abscissa. The solid lines in each plot give a locally weighted scatter plot smoothing of the respective data. The ratios have been taken from Caugant and Maiden (2009) and are based on data deposited in the PubMLST database, which contains only those isolates submitted to it by members of the Neisseria research community. Although it represents the most comprehensive overview of the diversity observed to date, it is yet not a coherent population sample. Upper left panel: median growth rates in PPM; upper right panel: median capacities in PPM; lower left panel: median growth rates in RPMI; lower right panel: median capacities in RPMI.
