Midpoint-rooted phylogenetic tree based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the core genome of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from 2 outbreaks in the United Kingdom in 2011 and 2012–2013. Isolates were mapped against the EMRSA-15 reference genome.

Figure. Midpoint-rooted phylogenetic tree based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the core genome of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from 2 investigations in the United Kingdom in 2011 and 2012–2013. Isolates were mapped against the EMRSA-15 reference genome. Open circles denote 20 individual colonies from a nasal swab culture taken from a healthcare worker during an outbreak in a hospital special care baby unit (SCBU) in 2011. Gray shaded circles denote isolates from 25 patients and their family members investigated during the 2011 outbreak. Black circles denote 10 isolates from 5 persons (case-patients A–E) from whom microbiological samples were taken during the 2012–2013 study. Numbers prefixed by P indicate the original study number used for each case during the 2011 outbreak investigation. Multiple samples from the same patient are identified by an underscore followed by the sample number. Two case-patients (P22/A and P14/B) were included in both outbreaks. Scale bar indicates SNPs.
