Figure 2

Minimum-spanning tree of an ad hoc Corynebacterium silvaticum core-genome multilocus sequence typing scheme of 2012 target loci displaying isolates from 2 cases in Germany (KL1281 and KL1848), and reference sequences. Shown are relationships with 35 animal-derived isolates from Germany and 8 isolates from clade 1 from pigs in Portugal. Allelic distances are indicated at connection lines.
