FIG. 1 Genetic relationships, multilocus sequence typing profiles and serotypes among the 49 sequence types (STs) of 141 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from community-acquired pneumonia patients, Japan, 2003–2004. The dendrogram was generated from a distance matrix between STs by using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages. aNew STs and alleles in bold. bIn the order aroE-gdh-gki-recP-spi-xpt-ddl. cCC, clonal complex; S, singleton. dSLV, single locus variants; DLV, double locus variants. eNT, non-type-able. fNumber of isolates.
