Minimum spanning tree (MST) of core genome MLST (cgMLST) relationship of methicillin resistant S. aureus carrying the mecC gene (mecC-MRSA) from European hedgehogs in Sweden. The cgMLST is based on target genes extracted from the mecC-MRSA genome LGA251, accession number FR821779, using the SeqSphere + software, which identified 1915 alleles present in all compared isolates. Nodes represent isolates (one isolate per node), Numbers in nodes denotes the multi-locus sequence type (7-MLST) as defined by the scheme at https://pubmlst.org/ and colours represent the origin of the isolate, Gotland County (Red) and Skåne County (Blue). Isolates encompassed in the solid box belong to ST425 while those in dashed box belong to ST130. Numbers on the lines between isolates indicate differences in alleles between isolates and line lengths are based on the allele differences in a logarithmic scale. Nodes marked in bold are mecC-MRSA isolates co-occurring with benzylpenicillin-producing T. erinacei isolates. The mecC-MRSA reference strain LGA251 (yellow) belonging to ST425, isolated from a dairy cow bulk milk sample in UK [6], is included in the figure for comparison
