Figure 2.

Minimum spanning tree of BruMLSA21 profiles described in this study. Each circle denotes a particular ST type with the size of the circle illustrating the number of isolates of that particular type. The coloring inside the circles indicates the Brucella species. Thick solid lines joining two types denote types differing at a single locus, thinner solid lines types differing at two or three loci, and the thinnest solid lines types differing at four or five loci. Dashed lines indicate types differing at >5 loci. The gray halos surrounding groupings represent clusters defined in Bionumerics created if neighbors differed in no more than 5 of 21 loci.
