Fig 2. Minimum spanning tree showing clustering by MIRU-VNTR of four M. tuberculosis isolates from this outbreak.
Each nodal point represents a cluster with identical genotypes, and the sizes of the nodal points are scaled to the number of strains in the cluster. Red shading indicates the outbreak group, which belong to the Beijing family. “Complex” refers to a group of strains with less than three loci variants that are linked with different colors.
