Lessons from 5 Years of Routine Whole-Genome Sequencing for Epidemiologic Surveillance of Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli, France, 2018–2022
Figure 4

Figure 4. Regression from hierarchical clustering at a threshold of 5 allelic differences from 5 years of routine whole-genome sequencing for epidemiologic surveillance of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, France, 2018–2022. A) Allelic distance; B) SNP distance. Distances calculated as a function of time in days by multivariable fractional polynomial linear regression. Black circles indicate estimated allelic or SNP distance for each observed temporal distance in days; blue, red, green, and black vertical lines, 95% CIs of the estimated genomic distances for each observed temporal distance in days. SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.
