Shigella
and EIEC cluster identification phylogenetic tree. Representative isolates from the identification dataset were used to construct the phylogenetic tree using Quicktree v1.3 [65] to identify
Shigella
and EIEC (enteroinvasive
E. coli
) clusters and visualized using Grapetree. The dendrogram shows the phylogenetic relationships of 1879
Shigella
and EIEC isolates represented in the identification dataset. Branch lengths are on a log scale for clarity. Bar, 0.2 substitutions per site.
Shigella
and EIEC clusters are coloured. Numbers in square brackets after the cluster name are the number of isolates for each identified cluster. CSP indicates sporadic EIEC lineages. ECOR is the
Escherichia coli
reference collection.
E. albertii
is
Escherichia albertii
which was included to show the location of ‘typical’
S. boydii
serotype 13 strains. CSS, CSB12, CSB13, CSD1, CSD8 and CSD10 are the clusters of
S. sonnei
,
S. boydii
serotype 12,
S. boydii
serotype 13,
S. dysenteriae
serotype 1,
S. dysenteriae
serotype 8 and
S. dysenteriae
serotype 10 respectively.
