The minimum spanning tree was constructed by the goeBURST algorithm using the Phyloviz software v1.1 (http://www.phyloviz.net/). The allelic profiles were downloaded from the MLST website (http://saureus.mlst.net/) which included the MRSA sequence types (STs) described in this review as well as 223 randomly selected STs (from each CC) based on the differences in their allelic profiles. The Group founder is colored in green and the related STs are in blue. The six main CCs described in this review are indicated by the dotted lines and the STs reported in Africa are indicated by the red color.
