Phylogenetic trees of the 95 tet(X4)-positive E. coli isolates together with 287 publicly available draft genomes of tet(X4)-negative E. coli (PRJNA400107) from healthy humans across China (Neighbour-Joining trees constructed based on 166,544 core-genome SNPs). Red dots represent the 95 isolates positive for tet(X4). a An unrooted tree showing the four Bayesian lineages. b A circular tree showing the corresponding information and SNP differences between isolates that are positive or negative for tet(X4).
