FIG. 1 Minimal spanning tree (MST) of K. pneumoniae producing VIM carbapenemase, showing sequence types (STs) and clonal complexes (CCs) vs replicon types. Each circle corresponds to an ST. The area of each circle is proportional to the number of isolates. Grey zones surround STs that belong to the same clonal complex (six common alleles). The numbers on each of the connecting lines between STs correspond to the number of allelic differences. None of the isolates were ST18, but this ST was added to the figure as it is the primary founder of CC18.
