Characteristics of MLST genotypes for the collection of 35 oral MRSE isolates. a Prevalence of MLST genotypes in the studied 35 MRSE isolates. b Phylogenetic analysis of seven housekeeping genes. Strain names are preceded by the names of the bacterial species. The branch length indicates the distance. Numbers at the branching points represent the percent occurrence in 1 000 random bootstrap replications of neighbor-joining analyses. Values of less than 50% are not shown. c eBURST analysis of S. epidermidis CC2 using all STs available in the MLST database as of June 2019. Each ST is represented by a dot, and lines connect single-locus variants. The blue dot (ST2) represents the putative founder of CC2. The yellow dots represent putative subgroup founders. The red STs represent those recorded in this study
