Figure 2

Neighbor-net phylogenetic network of outbreak strains among sub-lineage of the ST-41/44 complex. Genomic analyses were performed at 1546 loci and included a sub-lineage of ST-41/44 complex meningococcal genomes including the four case isolates and a carriage isolate (n = 102: UK = 100 and Ireland = 2). Top left: The network of all selected strains. Top right: zoomed section of network corresponding to area within the red box on opposite image. Below: Further zoomed section of network corresponding to the area within the blue box in the top right image. Outbreak strains, the carriage isolate (swab 5) and a closely-related strain from an unconnected disease case are labelled and highlighted in red, blue and black, respectively.
