Heatmap of in silico detected virulence genes. Black: gene present; white: gene absent. Isolates are sorted by source and by cgMLST cluster number. A set of 26 virulence genes was present in all 312 study isolates. Genes positively associated with the outbreak clusters are marked by an asterisk. CgMLST clusters 9, 10, and 12–16 had the same virulence factor composition as outbreak cluster 1. Isolates in the clusters 8 and 11 were lacking the vip gene and were hence identical to outbreak cluster 2.
