a–e The central node filled with dark blue in each plot showed the isolate from the patient. Nodes (light blue) linked to the patient with solid lines showed isolates from the close contacts that shared the same HC10 cluster with the patient, and the gray nodes showed isolates from the close contacts but in a very different HC10 cluster. The red numbers close to the gray nodes showed the number of core SNP differences in the patient. The gray shadow in parts a and e grouped people from the same families together. The stars nearby some nodes highlighted epidemic lineages according to the key. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
