The maximum-likelihood phylogeny was built from a core-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alignment (3102 SNPs) after putative recombination sites were removed. The tree was rooted at the midpoint. Branch support values above 90% are indicated by filled circles at the nodes. Isolates were deemed phenotypically resistant or susceptible to amoxicillin in the presence of 15 μg ml−1 clavulanic acid if they had minimum inhibitory concentrations above or at/below the empirical epidemiological cut-off (4.0 μg ml−1), respectively. The scale bar represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per variable site. MLST multilocus sequence type, AMX amoxicillin, CLA clavulanic acid.
