Fig. 2. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of ST188.

Fig. 2

Seventy-two S. aureus ST188 isolates (39 from adult patients, 19 from pediatric patients and 14 from livestock) were used for phylogenetic reconstruction. Relationships are shown with respect to the draft genome of MRSA CUHK_HK188 and seven isolates of MRSA ST188 from North America. Branches are colored by geographic origin of isolates. Black branch: isolates in this study. Pink branch: isolated from North America. Green branch: isolated from Hong Kong. The outer dots indicate the host origin of isolates. Rose-red dots: human-adapted isolates. Blue dots: livestock-adapted isolates. Orange dots: environmental isolates
