Figure 4

A minimum spanning tree (MST) illustrating evolutionary relationships of cases of clonal heterogeneity observed among Beijing isolates from China versus BSP groupings (n = 1596 strains). The MST was constructed based on 24-loci MIRU-VNTRs on a total of 1490 strains representing different BSP clonal complexes (BSP1 n = 350, BSP2 n = 195, BSP3 n = 179, BSP4 n = 394, BSP5 n = 284, BSPint n = 88), and 106 entries for the group “clonal heterogeneity” representing 53 isolates. Among the latter, 46/53 strains were from our dataset while 7/53 strains were from a recent study by Yin et al.20, and described as Modern (10 entries from 5 strains), Ancient (2 entries from 1 strain), and Early ancient (2 entries from 1 strain).
