Maximum-likelihood phylogeny as obtained from the 31 S. aureus CC398 isolates from this study and 453 S. aureus CC398 isolates from Sieber et al. (2018). The tree was rooted according to the work of Price et al. (2012). The scale bar represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per variable site. The type of food products and methicillin-resistance gene mecA are shown. The basal human-associated lineage of S. aureus CC398 (H), according to Price et al. (2012), as well as the three most prevalent lineages in Danish pigs (L1, L2, and L3), according to Sieber et al. (2018), are highlighted.
