Figure. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of isolates from study of Legionella pneumophila in tap water, Flint, Michigan, USA. Analysis was conducted in kSNP3.0 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ksnp/) and visualized by using FigTree 14.3 (https://github.com/rambaut/figtree/releases/tag/v1.4.3). Isolate sources: yellow, clinical samples; blue, hospital water; red, residence water; purple, public building water; green, buildings supplied by well water. With the exception of buildings supplied by well water, all buildings were serviced by Flint municipal water. Reference strains are detailed in Appendix 1 Table 2. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
