Evolutionary model of subgroup IIk divided into Canadian and Chinese lineages. The last common ancestor of subgroup IIk carrying plasmid pLM5578 was divided into two lineages. Both horizontal gene transfer and mutation play important roles for the divergence, such as the loss of plasmid and phage B025, and the acquisition of LGI-1.
