FIG 2.

International comparison of S. argenteus isolates by wgMLST. (A) In-house wgMLST MST of S. argenteus obtained in the Netherlands and from other countries, visualized in a minimum spanning tree (MST) with only the first unique isolate per person. GG indicates genogroups, which are encircled with gray halos, except for GG2250, which is light yellow. The Dutch MRSArg isolates are colored dark blue, and the Dutch MSSArg isolates are colored light blue. The MRSArg isolates from other countries are green, while the MSSArg isolates from other countries are white. An international genetic cluster with an S. argenteus isolate from the Netherlands and two isolates from the United States is depicted in red. (Inset) Closeup of GG2250 to provide greater detail of the international S. argenteus cluster. (B) Overview of the genogroups and isolates from different countries in the genogroups. The ISO 3166 code is used for country abbreviation. *1, these isolates had an incomplete MLST profile. The sequence type nearest the incomplete profile is used as the genogroup name. (C) Overview of the allelic distances between the genogroups.
