Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic tree comparing cervical E. coli isolates and representative neonatal E. coli bacteremia strains. Legend: WGS data was used to perform phylogenetic comparisons of E. coli cervical colonization isolates with neonatal bacteremia isolates. Data were analyzed with CSI Phylogeny 1.4 and a tree was constructed to show the relatedness among neonatal and cervical isolates [25] The SNP-based tree shows that the colonizing strain SCBcol-5 was the closest related to the neonatal bacteremia isolates SCB34 and SCB58, all belonging to the same ST131. The least related cervical colonization isolates in relation to neonatal isolates were SCBcol-2, SCBcol-3, and SCBcol-4
