Figure. Bayesian analysis of the phylogenetic relationship among
pneumococcal isolates from sickle-cell disease patients as determined
by multilocus sequence type (MLST). ST, sequence type, as defined by the
MLST database. Strains in boldface had recognized allele numbers
but not recognized profiles according to the current database (listed
as NT). Putative novel sequence types (those with unrecognized alleles)
are in boldface and italics. Dots indicate resistance to
penicillin. Boxes indicate sequence types determined to be resistant to
cephalosporins. Red box, intermediate resistance, previously described;
black box, highly resistant, previously described; yellow box, intermediate
resistance, not previously described; white box, highly resistant, not
previously described. Clade credibility scores >80% are listed on the
tree.
