Minimum spanning tree based on the 126 MLVA types (MTs) found in 256 E. coli bacteraemia isolates from 2011 to 2015. The isolates are coloured by phenotypic resistance. White: cephalosporin S and gentamicin S, green cephalosporin R and gentamicin S, red: cephalosporin S and gentamicin R, purple: cephalosporin R and gentamicin R. One disk represents one MT. Disk size indicates the number of isolates in the MT. The length of branches specifies how many Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) loci are different, where the shortest branches indicate 1 VNTR loci separating MTs. This only applies to adjacent MLVA disks. Encircled MTs are associated with the international E. coli O25b-ST131 clone. Dotted line indicates the major MLVA cluster
