Population snapshot of S. aureus strains after a MLST BURTS clustering and b spA BURP grouping. The MLST minimum-spanning tree was obtained with BURST clustering.. spA types were clustered into spA-CCs with the algorithm BURP. Strains are represented by circles highlighted according to their MLST-based clonal complexes, CC8 (yellow circles), CC15 (green circles), CC1 (purple circles) and CC5 (blue circles). Black circles represent singletons
