Inferred genetic relationships among group A Streptococcus emm59 strains on the basis of 773 concatenated single nucleotide polymorphisms identified by genome sequencing. Strains from Montana (M) and Wyoming (W), USA, are shown in blue and red, respectively. Strains from Canada, and from California, Minnesota, and Oregon, USA, are shown for reference. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
