TABLE 4.

Cluster interpretation.

Number of pipelines Number of laboratories


Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3 Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3
No direct transmissions 8 6 0 5 4 0
Suspicion of direct transmission 1 2 2 1 1 2
Likely lab contamination 0 0 7 0 0 4

Note that pipeline R, based on MinION data, did not fully identify cluster 2, since strain 4 was missing from its tree. Hence, we only evaluated eight pipelines and five laboratories for cluster 2.
