MLST-phylogeny of S. aureus sequences. The minimum spanning tree was constructed using the concatenated sequences of 7 MLST genes on Phyloviz online platform (https://online.phyloviz.net/). Concatenated sequences of related S. aureus were downloaded from PubMLST website (https://pubmlst.org/organisms/staphylococcus-aureus). Isolates from different countries were indicated by different color codes with isolates from this study as red. ID’s with ST inside each circle indicates sequence type (ST) of the entire circle.
