Figure 3. Maximum SNP distances observed in clusters in retrospective analysis of historical Listeria monocytogenes clinical isolates, New York, USA, 2000–2021. Timespan corresponds to the interval in years between an isolate pair where the maximum number of SNPs was observed among closely related isolates (i.e., SNPs <20). If the clinical isolates in a NY-cluster were collected within the same month of the same year, the timespan for the NY-cluster is 0. SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.
1Preliminary results from this study were presented at the International Association for Food Protection Conference; July 14–17, 2024; Long Beach, California, USA.
