Figure 3. Diversity of the Campylobacter coli sequence type 10042 isolates from Portugal in study of multisectoral emergence of multidrug-resistant C. coli sequence type 10042 lineage, Europe, 2018–2025. Minimum-spanning tree of 104 Portugal isolates shows genetic diversity assessed using a gene-by-gene approach based on the PubMLST core-genome MLST v1 scheme (1,343 loci). Minimum-spanning tree was generated using the MSTreeV2 algorithm in GrapeTree (https://github.com/achtman-lab/grapetree) and based on allelic differences. Filled circles (sizes proportional to the number of isolates) represent unique allelic profiles. Nodes are colored by year of isolation (A) and source (B). Solid lines indicate genetic clusters defined by an allelic distance <5, whereas dashed lines indicate an allelic distance >5.
