Figure 3

A Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) depicting relationships among 249 Beijing isolates from Sikkim, India based on 24-loci MIRU-VNTR data. This tree shows the clustering of MTBC isolates based on a final match of 24-loci MIRU-VNTR profiles (10 isolates represented by 5 black dots) and clusters based on Single Locus Variant (SLV-1) (i.e. these clusters of isolates which differ from each other by the single difference in 24-loci MIRU-VNTR profile). The largest Clonal Complex (CC1) comprisesnine isolates shown by green dots and highlighted in pink colour. This MST was developed using the MIRU-VNTRplus web tool (https://www.miru-vntrplus.org) and the figure was enhanced using Microsoft Paint (https://ms-paint.en.softonic.com).
