Fig. 5

Analysis of 623 complete K. pneumoniae genomes. A Number of conjugative plasmids acquired recently in the genomes of our dataset. The colours correspond to the different categories of plasmids. The data correspond to conjugative plasmids acquired in terminal branches. B Number of plasmids (including non-conjugative) recently acquired (terminal branches of the species tree) in the focus serotype. Bars represent the mean of plasmid gains per genome (n = 73 for “Large”, n = 29 for “Small”). Error bars represent the standard deviations. A generalized additive model was fit with the gains as the response variable, log10 branch lengths as a smooth function term (thin-plate regression spline), and serotype (grouped between large and small capsules) and MPF type (I, T, F, Others) as fixed terms (Statistics 9, Text S2). Source data are provided as a Source Data file 8 (Plasmids annotations) and Source Data file 9 (Plasmid acquisitions).
