Fig 4. Clonal lineages extending across multiple patients.

Clonal lineages are stratified by the indicated organisms. The x-axis indicates the timeline of this study, with day 0 corresponding to the first day of sample collection. Infection events in specific patients are represented by individual rows, with the length of the bar indicating the dates of a patient’s hospitalization. Bars are colored and grouped according to clonal lineages, and red arrowheads denote specimen collections where an isolate in the clonal lineage was obtained. The patient number and the hospital ward where the patient was receiving treatment when culture was performed is shown at the left (ICU legend below), and stars denote isolates that were associated with clinically significant infection (infections therapeutically targeted by physicians).
