Analysis of recombination in lineage 3 (serotypes 9V and 11A), pneumococcal isolates, south-western Europe (n = 68)
ST: sequence type.
Panel A: Green blocks: recombination segments for which putative donor is 11A-ST62 (AP200) and which are shared by strains of ST838, ST6521, ST14589 and ST14590; these blocks are labelled with capital letters (A to D). Red blocks: recombination segments which putative donor is NT-ST344 which are shared by strains ST6521, ST14589 and ST14590; these blocks are labelled with numbers (1 to 7). Grey blocks: recombination segments present in a single strain. Light blue blocks: recombination segments shared by small groups of strains.
Panel B. Dark blue: receptor 9V-ST838; green: putative receptor 11A-ST62; red: putative receptor NT-ST344. Coordinates refer to the ones of the genome of strain 4041STDY6836167. The approximate recombining fragment size is indicated.
