Figure 1: Phylogenetic context of Zambian isolates.

From: Phylogenomic approaches to determine the zoonotic potential of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated from Zambian dairy cattle

Figure 1

The tree depicts the phylogenetic relationship of E. coli isolates from Zambia (bovine - red and human - blue) with other E. coli isolates (grey). The ML tree is based on core SNPs as described in Materials and Methods. The tree is un-rooted and grey circles on branches represent bootstrap values higher than 80. Vertical columns demonstrate: (1) Diversity of the sequence types (ST) based on MLST analysis where each colour represents a different ST; (2) Diversity of O-serogroups for which each colour represents a different group; (3) Phylogroups: A-yellow, B1-red, B2-blue, C-green, D-turquoise, E-pink, F-grey, cryptic clades-light green. The phylogroups are consistent with core SNP clustering with some minor discordance. White spaces on all columns indicate sequences that were untypable.
