Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Neisseria meningitidis based on whole-genome sequence data from New York City, New York, USA, and publically available sequences belonging to the multilocus sequence typing group cc11. Isolates are listed with serogroup, year of isolation, source, and study (sp, MSM carriage (for isolates obtained during the 2016 MSM carriage study in New York City), or reference from where they were obtained). N. meningitidis reference sequences are labeled in blue (Hajj and F

Figure. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Neisseria meningitidis based on whole-genome sequence data from New York City, New York, USA, and publicly available sequences belonging to the multilocus sequence typing group cc11. Isolates are listed with serogroup, year of isolation, source, and study (sp, MSM carriage [for isolates obtained during the 2016 MSM carriage study in New York City], or reference from where they were obtained). N. meningitidis reference sequences are labeled in blue (Hajj and Fam18), N. meningitidis Nm urethritis clade references in green, and the 2017 conjunctivitis isolate in red. *2015 eye isolate; **oropharyngeal isolate from the MSM carriage study; ***invasive isolate from 2016. Numbers along branches are bootstrap values. The tree is drawn to scale with branch lengths measured in number of nucleotide substitutions per site. Internal nodes are labeled with bootstrap values (500 iterations). Branches are labeled with associated serogroups. Scale bar is based on 10,760 positions in the core single-nucleotide polymorphism matrix. cc, clonal complex; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; MSM, men who have sex with men; NmC, N. meningitidis serogroup C; NmW, N. meningitidis serogroup W; NmNG, N. meningitidis nongroupable; sp, sporadic case.
