Fig. 4: Global bacteriocin T8 prevalence increases over time and is associated with emergent lineages.
From: Bacteriocin production facilitates nosocomial emergence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium

a, Geographic distribution of 15,631 global VREfm isolates across continents. EU, Europe; NA, North America; AUS, Australia; AS, Asia; SA, South America; AF, Africa. Isolates are coloured by ST. b, Global ST distribution between 2002 and 2022. Isolates are coloured by ST. Emergent lineages are noted with a black star. c, Abundance of bacteriocin T8 within main global STs. The bars are separated into emergent and historical lineages based on trends seen within the UPMC collection. Bacteriocin T8 presence is shaded in burgundy and absence in grey. d, Prevalence of bacteriocin T8 over time at UPMC (burgundy) and in the global collection (light burgundy).
