FIG. 2 Minimum spanning tree showing the distribution of clinical (red) and environmental (blue) Legionella pneumophila strains with seven sequenced alleles in relation to sequence type (ST). ST number is shown and circle size indicates the number of strains assigned to ST. Thick lines connect single-locus variants, thin lines connect double-locus variants and dotted lines connect other variants (more than two allele difference).
