Figure 3

Minimum spanning tree based on sequence types (STs) and polymorphic membrane protein E (PmpE) of 298 Chlamydia trachomatis samples in study of clustering of specific PmpE clade in C. trachomatis lineages from MSM, Japan. Each node indicates the ST number. SLVs and DLVs are linked. Samples from MSM are outlined in red, reflecting the proportion of samples in each node. The PmpE clades p1 and p2 are colored using the same color codes as those used in Figure 2. Dashed lines are the assumed borders between the MSM and non-MSM lineages. DLV, double-locus variant; MSM, men who have sex with men; SLV, single-locus variant.
