Phylogenetic analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates based on sequence type, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, March–June 2015. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree demonstrating core-genome phylogeny among isolates from South Africa (n = 25) relative to selected genomes (publicly available from GenBank) from other countries. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. ST, sequence type.
