Figure. Median-joining network of whole-genome sequenced isolates of strain C8-LPMDR found in Italy, Peru, and Spain, 2007–2017. Network 4.6.1.6 (http://www.fluxus-engineering.com) was used to perform network analysis. Each dot along the lines linking isolates corresponds to a single-nucleotide polymorphism difference. Isolates within the same box share identical sequences. mv1 corresponds to an unsampled case inferred from the network topology. Sequences were deposited in the European Bioinformatics Institute database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk, accession no. PRJEB25765). FL, Florence; IT, Italy; MRCA, most recent common ancestor.
