Figure 5. Expansion of a macrolide-resistant clade in Germany prior to vaccine introduction.
(A) The ratio of macrolide-to-β-lactam consumption in Germany. (B) The change in Ne through time inferred by Skygrowth, with the red line showing the results of the analysis that did not include covariates, and the blue line showing the results of the analysis that incorporated the macrolide-to-β-lactam ratio into the phylodynamic reconstruction. Shaded regions represent the 95% credible intervals. (C) The reconstruction of the growth rate of Ne through time. The red line represents the result of model fitting without covariates, and the blue line when the macrolide-to-β-lactam ratio data were incorporated. Shaded regions represent the 95% credible interval for the reconstruction.
