FIG. 1 Minimum spanning trees of 340 diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) sequence types (STs). The tree is based on the degree of allele sharing by MLST analysis, with different pathotypes of DEC (A), positivity and negativity for ESBL(B) and antimicrobial resistance (C). Each circle denotes a particular ST, and the size of the circle indicates the number of isolates of that particular type. Black lines connecting pairs of STs indicate that they share six (thick lines), five (thin) or four alleles (dash). Grey dotted lines connecting pairs of STs indicate that they share three to one alleles, with longer lines representing fewer shared alleles. Only predominant STs (≥ 7 isolates), ST678 and ST131 are marked. EAEC, enteroaggregative E. coli; ETEC, enterotoxigenic E. coli; EPEC, enteropathogenic E. coli; STEC, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
