Figure 1

Distribution of host species and countries across clusters of Streptococcus agalactiae sequence types (STs), with clusters including single- and double-locus variants. Each circle represents an ST, with size of the circle and its colored segments proportional to the number and origin of isolates, respectively. Red, human in Finland; yellow, human in Sweden; blue, bovid in Finland; green, bovid in Sweden. STs are indicated by numbers in the circles. Single- and double-locus variants are connected
