Fig. 3. Diversity of S. flexneri population with respect to serotype switching.

Fig. 3

The unrooted S. flexneri phylogenetic tree is shown with the five phylogroups (PG1–PG7) and Sf6 labelled accordingly. For each genomic subtype, monophyletic clusters of the dominant serotype are shown collapsed into bubbles coloured according to the inlaid key. Single isolate or groups of isolates within a subtype of an alternative serotype are represented by further branches, indicating a single serotype switch. The dashed rectangles group together multiple serotypic clusters belonging to the same PG. Bubble size indicates the number of isolates within a single cluster.
