Fig. 4: Plasmid diversity and distribution of plasmid-borne ARGs in CC5 Lineage.

Circular phylogenetic tree of S. aureus CC5 lineage isolates annotated with plasmid features and ARGs. The inner tree branches are colored according to subclades (CC5.1-CC5.6). Four outer rings display: (1) Plasmid replicon types, including RepA, Rep1, Rep2, Rep3, RepL, and Rep_trans. (2) Plasmid mobility, categorized as non-mobilizable (blue), mobilizable (purple), or conjugative (green). (3) Number of plasmid-borne ARGs, ranging from 0 (white) to 16–20 (dark green). (4) Specific plasmid-borne ARGs, colored and listed by name (e.g., blaZ, mecA, aac(6’)-aph(2”), tetK, ermB, vanA, etc.).
