Phylogenetic analysis of highly related isolates from molecular surveillance of multidrug-resistant bacteria among refugees from Afghanistan in 2 US military hospitals during OAR, 2021. A) Escherichia coli ST44, ST69, and ST648 isolates. B) Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 isolates; OAR isolates were closely related to isolates collected in 2018. C) Acinetobacter baumannii ST2 isolates; OAR isolates were closely related to isolates collected during 2019–2020. D) Enterococcus faecium ST80 isolates. Numbers inside circles indicate isolate identification numbers. Numbers along lines connecting circles indicate the number of allelic differences between isolates. Gray shading indicates clustered isolates. Bagram, Bagram Air Force Base, Bagram, Afghanistan; LRMC, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Landstuhl, Germany; OAR, Operation Allies Refuge; ST, sequence type; WRNMMC, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
