Decision tree applied to remove suspected duplicate strains from the unique set of FRIs identified in the literature. Data was first ranked according to whole genome sequence homology, from lowest to highest. The pairs were evaluated individually, starting with the most genetically similar through the following criteria indicated in the figure (detail provided in Methods). Numbers in red at deletion decision points indicate the number of isolates that were removed at that stage
