From: The current MLVA typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium is less discriminatory than MLST and PFGE for epidemic-virulent, hospital-adapted clonal types

Figure 2

Comparison of phylogenetic relatedness between identified MLST (a) and MLVA types (b) for all 58 hospital VRE. Corresponding trees using eBURST v3 showing clades of an identical MLVA type (MT) for several MLST types (ST) (a) and an identical ST for several MTs (b), respectively. Each line separates MLVA/MLST types differing by a single locus (single locus variants). ST-64 is not part of the given collection and was included for a better illustration of relatedness between MLST types. The MLVA type of ST-64 is not known.
