Fig. 2

MLVA MST of Salmonella Enteritidis isolates in the CED database. The circle (node) size represents the MLVA profile and the size of the node represents the number of isolates in each MLVA profile (the smaller node the fewer the number of isolates in the MLVA profile). MLVA profiles are connected by branches and the thickness of the branch indicates how many VNTR loci differences are between the connected MLVA profiles. The thick solid lines connect MLVA profiles (nodes) that differ by one VNTR locus and thin solid lines connect MLVA profiles that have two VNTR loci difference. The distance between the MLVA profiles represents the genetic divergence between two neighbouring MLVA profiles
