Comparison of allelic variation and consistency index for core genes and genes containing GWAS pathogenicity elements. a The number of alleles per locus and b consistency indices to a core phylogeny, were calculated for each gene alignment for core genes and those containing pathogenicity-associated elements that correlated with secondary in vitro phenotypes using R and the phangorn package. The left y-axis indicates the number of core genes (black line), the right y-axis indicates the number of genes containing associated and correlated k-mers (blue line). For the consistency index, the two distributions were significantly different (two-tailed Mann–Whitney test; P = 0.002, Mann–Whitney U = 15.50)
