Figure 3

Evolutionary significance of IS 629 in the emergence of E. coli O157:H7. A) Maximum parsimony tree obtained using the distribution of IS629 and IS629 target sites in the 14 O157:H7 strains analyzed in the present study (Table 3 and Additional file 4, Table S3). B) Maximum parsimony tree obtained using IS629 target sites for the 27 strains analyzed in the present study (Additional file 4, Table S3). The colored ellipses mark the different CCs. CC - clonal complex; ST - sequence type.
