Fig. 1 Minimum spanning tree depiction of inter-relationships among Panton–Valentine leukocidin gene sequences, with linkage priority assigned, in order of decreasing importance, to types with the highest number of: (i) single-locus (base-pair) variants; (ii) double-locus variants; and (iii) samples belonging to a single type. Numbers indicate base-pair differences among the groups.
