Clonal groups of most frequent PNSSP from meningitis cases. The PMEN- Double Locus Variant clonal groupsofthe138meningitis cases PNSSP isolates and clones (as characterized by MLST). Fifty ST’s were identified and classified into 24 groups. The size of the nodes was proportional to the number of isolates presenting that ST in the database. The ST nodes included: Light green - Group founder; Light blue- Common node; Black - Link drawn without recourse to tiebreak rules; Blue - Link drawn using tiebreak rule 1 and Gray - Link drawn for higher levels (DLV with darker gray or TLV with lighter gray)
