Clonal complexes where the strains are located. a CC5, where the founder is ST5. Within this complex, we find ST8, (Strains 3, 5, and 9), ST83 (Strain 15), ST403 (Strain 17), and ST1221 (Strain 18). b CC22, where the founder is ST22 (Strains 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 19). Within this complex, we also found ST217 (Strains 4, 16, and 20) and ST954 (Strain 1). c CC45, where ST45 (Strain 6) is its founder. d CC59 was predicted from ST87 (Strain 2) and ST59. Finally, ST1535 (Strain 13) did not belong to any clonal complex and was recorded as a singleton. Abbreviations: CC, clonal complex; MRSA, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus; ST, sequence types
