FIGURE 6.
Parsimony-based phylogeny tree of 14 strains analyzed in this study and 998 tst-positive S. aureus deposited in NCBI. The color-shaded words denote the clonal complex of the bacterial strain. The color boxes of the outermost layer denote the number of consecutive T repeats in the putative second SarA-binding site of each strain. The strains with inner layer asterisk are the strains used in this study.
