Phylogenetic network of group W/clonal complex (cc)11 isolates, France, 2015–2016 (n = 47)

UK: UK; WGS: whole genome sequencing.

WGS data are analysed using a gene-by-gene approach available through the PubMLST Genome Comparator tool. The nomenclature of lineages was according to [4,5].

The Anglo-French-Hajj and the South American/UK lineages are indicated as well as the sub-lineages: the 'original UK strain' and the novel variant 'the 2013-strain'. Five European isolates (from the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden) were included to represent these two sub-lineages as well as one French isolate from the Anglo-French-Hajj lineage. Data of the isolates are available through their PubMLST IDs (20196, 30167, 31165, 38691, 40279, 40387, 40391, 40399, 40401, 41212, 41582, 41728, 41812, 41819, 41857, 41864, 42046, 42202, 42206, 42209, 42213, 42409, 42758, 42767, 42769, 42782, 43996, 44053, 44434, 44573, 45339, 45341, 45342, 46742, 46743, 46744, 46745, 46746, 46747, 46748, 46749, 46750, 46751, 46752, 50353, 52131, 53526). The two recent French isolates are indicated by red arrows.
