Phylogenetic analyses of mcr-1–positive Escherichia coli isolated from chickens and chicken farmers, Vietnam, 2012–2013. Maximum-likelihood tree of 22 mcr-1–carrying E. coli isolated from 15 chicken fecal samples and 3 human fecal swab samples (underlined), constructed by using CSI Phylogeny 1.4 (https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk//services/CSIPhylogeny/), shows a genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) comparison. A total of 74,585 SNPs were concatenated for pairwise comparison (difference between

Figure. Phylogenetic analyses of mcr-1–positive Escherichia coli isolated from chickens and chicken farmers, Vietnam, 2012–2013. Maximum-likelihood tree of 22 mcr-1–carrying E. coli isolated from 15 chicken fecal samples and 3 human fecal swab samples (underlined), constructed by using CSI Phylogeny 1.4 (https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk//services/CSIPhylogeny/), shows a genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) comparison. A total of 74,585 SNPs were concatenated for pairwise comparison (difference between pairs 0–32,267 SNPs). The multilocus sequence types (ST) are indicated next to the isolate names. The ST155 isolates CG05C.C1 and CG05C.C2 differ by 1 SNP; the ST10 isolates CG48C.A2 and CG48C.G2 differ by 1 SNP and 1 antimicrobial resistance gene; the ST156 isolates CT48C.C1 and CT48C.C2 differ by 4 SNPs and 3 antimicrobial resistance genes; and the ST50 isolates CT67C.C1 and CT67C.C2 are phenotypically different but have 0 SNP differences and originate from the same sample and are therefore likely to be highly related or identical. Scale bar indicates number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
