Extended Data Fig. 6: Serotype switching events across S. flexneri genomic subtypes.

From: Pathogenomic analyses of Shigella isolates inform factors limiting shigellosis prevention and control across LMICs

Extended Data Fig. 6

ML phylogenetic tree of each subtype was generated based on core genome SNPs. Serotypes determined through biochemical serotyping are displayed on the right-hand side of each tree, and coloured according to the inlaid key. The 26 inferred serotype switching events occurring along the phylogenetic branches are labelled accordingly. Numbers inside each backets represents switch IDs, with further details provided in Supplementary Table 4. Where the dominant serotype cannot be determined, a question mark is displayed, indicating switch from unknown ancestral type. Serotype switching events resulting in more than two descendant isolates are highlighted in red.
