Genomic distance between isolates from beginning of study and the end of study in persistent carriers displayed by Sequence Type (a) ST5, b) ST9, c) ST398). Within sequence type, the isolates from same person were colored with same color. Names of each isolate were described by ST_spa type_ (if MRSA)_sampling month_vetID. The bar scales on each ST indicate number of nucleotide difference per site
