Fig. 4

The matrix shows the percentage of times an E. coli lineage belonging to a lineage (vertical axis) was observed together with another lineage (horizontal axis). The percentages are calculated out of the total times the lineages corresponding to the row and column were observed in the Manga Mandi hospital cohort. The column labelled Total shows the total number of times the lineage on each row was observed in the cohort. Lineages that had more than half of their total observations in the follow-up samples are separated by the dashed horizontal and vertical lines. For these lineages, co-observation counts are also shown in the plot. Cells labelled with an ‘x’ additionally denote lineage pairs more common in the follow-up samples. The plot shows the 30 most common lineages together with STs that were all substantially enriched in the follow-up samples. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
