A Genomic Snapshot of Antibiotic-ResistantEnterococcus faecalis within Public Hospital Environments in South Africa

Figure 1

The whole-genome MLST phylogenomic branch and metadata of isolate information (including isolate identity, hospital, source, and ward) and WGS in-silico typing (sequence type and antibiotic resistome) coupled using Phandango (https://jameshadfield.github.io/phandango/) E. faecalis isolates at different level of care in Durban, South Africa. The linking lines in the phylogenetic tree differentiate between the different clades. Metadata annotations show that there were generally distinct major sequence types between the 4 hospital environments; however, within each hospital, there was the spread of these major clones between different sources in the wards.
