Main Article

Figure 5

Public Staphylococcus saprophyticus genomes and study isolates from investigation of bacterial contamination of platelet blood products, United States, 2018–2022. Shown is a RaxML (https://cme.h-its.org)‒generated phylogeny based on 1,808 core genes of all S. saprophyticus isolates from this study and all S.saprophyticus genomes from the National Center for Biotechnology Information RefSeq (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq) database. Isolate location, isolate source, and species from National Center for Biotechnology Information or by average nucleotide identity were layered onto the phylogeny. Light orange, blue, and purple indicate the 3 clusters from Figure 3, panel A. Black circles on branches indicate 100% support for the branch of 100 bootstraps. US states are identified by 2-letter postal codes. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. DR, Dominican Republic; PR, Puerto Rico.
