Clonal complexes identified among 81 strains of Y. enterocolitica biovar 1A by BURST analysis of MLRT data. a) Clonal complex A, b) Clonal complex B. Each number denotes a restriction type (RT; refer to Figure 2). Radial distribution shows divergent RTs. Ancestral RT is shown in the innermost circle. Single locus variants (SLV) are shown in the second circle and double locus variants (DLV) are represented in the outermost circle. Satellite RTs (RTs present outside the outermost circle) vary by more than two loci from the ancestral type. Lines indicate whether the RT is SLV (solid line) or DLV (dashed line).
