(A–E) Phylogenomic characterisation of the K. pneumoniae strains and their evolutionary relationship with African and International strains. Isolates of the same clone (ST) clustered together, although some strains of different STs were found within or close to strains of same STs (A). Isolates from South Africa are coloured in blue letters while those from this study have red branches. Strains from South Africa were largely clustering together albeit the isolates also clustered with strains from Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda and Sudan that had the same or closely related ST. Notably, strains from Durban (South Africa) were more closely related to our strains (B). Globally, the strains were related to clones from Belgium, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Lebanon, Thailand, UK, and USA (C–E). RAXmL and Parsnp were used to draw the trees, which were subsequently annotated with Figtree.
