Each dot represents an isolate (exact isolation dates in Table 1). The 2011 and 2012 isolates of patient 1 and 2012 isolates of patient 2 each originated from the same sputum sample and were studied in parallel as they displayed distinct colony morphologies. The line connecting the isolates indicates the infection timeline, with the infections of patients 2 and 4 still currently ongoing.
