Synopsis
Retrospective Analysis of Historical Listeria monocytogenes Clinical Isolates, New York, USA, 2000–20211

Figure 4. Pairwise SNP distances observed among 321 clinical isolates in clusters in retrospective analysis of historical Listeria monocytogenes clinical isolates, New York, USA, 2000–2021. Each data point represents a pair of isolates from the same county (A), contiguous counties (B), or noncontiguous counties (C). The timespan corresponds to the interval between each isolate pair within clusters in years with a month (1/12 of a year) as the minimum measurable unit. If the clinical isolates in a cluster were collected within the same month of the same year, the timespan for the 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.
