Fig 1. Phylogenetic network based on the MLST genotyping of the P. aeruginosa strains (ST/haplotypes).

Fig 1

Phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary history, clonal complexes, and relationship between the mexR-nalC-nalD haplotypes and the STs are shown. P. aeruginosa isolates (n = 91, 48 STs, 27 mexR-nalC-nalD haplotypes). Circles represent sequence types (STs); Circumference is based on ST frequency; Two or more strains with the same ST are depicted as fractions in each circle (ST1725, n = 34 strains); Lines connect locus variants; Numbers indicate the number of locus variants among the connected STs. Clonal complexes (CC) formed are highlighted in rectangles and described as I, II, III, IV, V and, VI. STs not grouped into a CC are considered singletons (>3 locus variants with other STs). Numbers inside the circles (1–27) corresponds with the mexR-nalC-nalD haplotype and are colored differently. †: Fatal patient outcome.
