Figure 1

Distribution of timespan, number of clinical isolates, and number of counties among clusters in retrospective analysis of historical Listeria monocytogenes clinical isolates, New York, USA, 2000–2021. Clinical isolates that show a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) distance of <20 SNPs to >1 of the other clinical isolates were grouped into a cluster; therefore, each cluster contains >2 clinical isolates. Each circle represents between 1 and 6 clusters, and the size of the circle is proportional to the number of clusters represented. Circles are color-coded according to the number of counties in each cluster. Timespan represents the interval between the first and the last collected clinical isolates in a cluster, measured in years with a month (1/12 of a year) as the minimum measurable unit. If the first and last collected clinical isolates in a cluster were obtained within the same month of the same year, the timespan for the cluster is zero.
