Figure 3

Relationship of 126 strains of serogroup 19 by eBURST analysis. ST271 (blue circle) is the predicted primary founder and ST236 (yellow circle) was assigned to a subgroup founder. Numbers on the diagram correspond to sequence types (STs). The size of each circle correlates with the number of isolates of that ST. *Newly identified ST in this study.
