Fig 5. cgMLST NeighbourNet diagram of Irish MenW:cc11 isolates and representative examples of European MenW:cc11 isolates (unlabelled).

Fig 5

Unlabelled isolates were chosen and represent the cc11 lineage structure established in 2015 (Lucidarme et al), and included examples of the original Hajj strain (Anglo-French strain), and the more recent UK 2009, and novel UK 2013 strains. Irish disease associated cases (n = 16, 2010–2017) are highlighted in red, and nasopharyngeal carriage isolates (n = 12, 2016/17) are highlighted in blue, and are observed interspersed among both the UK 2009 and novel 2013 UK strain clusters. There were no examples among the Irish study isolates of the original Hajj strain. Scale bar represents a pairwise allelic difference of 10.
