Using the mutation rate 3.23 × 10−5 substitutions per site per year for calibration with the median evolutionary rate from the BEAST analysis, one unit of coalescent time (τ) is equal to: 87.151 years in the ST-21 complex, 115.015 years in ST-45 complex and 296.656 years in ST-828 complex. The median value was used for estimating all other parameters in years.
