Evaluation of Multiple-Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis for Typing Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Figure 2
Minimum spanning tree based on spa types for all isolates associated with LA-MRSA CC398.
Each dot represents a different spa type with the diameter of a dot being proportional to the quantity of the isolates included. Different colours within the dots indicate different MLVA types. The spa types that are associated with the same MLVA type are identically coloured.
