Population ANI-based tree of (a) Lactobacillus rhamnosus, (b) Lactobacillus gasseri, (c) Streptococcus thermophilus strains present in patient samples. Clades containing samples from different patients with ≥99.999% popANI are highlighted with a gray background. Clades with 100% popANI between all pairs are additionally bolded and italicized. d Timeline of approximate date of samples containing a L. rhamnosus strain in the transmission cluster in (a). Patients who were discharged from the hospital after HCT and prior to acquiring L. rhamnosus are bolded and italicized. e Microbiome composition of patient 11537. L. rhamnosus abundance at each time point is indicated above the bar. This patient received HCT on relative day 3. Source Data for this figure are provided in Supplementary Data 7–10.
