Figure 2

Clustering of STs by use of the minimum spanning tree. Each circle represents an ST, and the serotype number is indicated in the circle. The area of each circle corresponds to the number of isolates. Thick, short, solid lines connect single-locus variants and thin, longer, solid lines connect double-locus variants. Each colour represents the source of isolates. Source: LA (lung aspirate), CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), VB (venous blood), and PE (pleural effusion).
