Figure 2

Nearest-neighbor calculations of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi of genotype 4.3.1 and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees for 3 introductions of Salmonella Typhi genotype 4.3.1 into Chile in the context of their closest Salmonella Typhi isolate neighbors. A) Isolate collected during 2012–2014 resembles isolates from South Asia. B) Isolate collected during 2015 resembles isolates from India. C) Isolate collected in 2016 is closely related to a cluster of sequences from India and Bangladesh. Accession numbers, genotypes, countries, and years of isolation are shown. Stars indicate mutations in the quinolone resistance determining region of genes gyrA, gyrA-S83F and gyrA-D87N, and parC-S80I. Scale bars indicate SNP distance. SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.
