Fig. 4

Sequence types (STs) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are shown, and the highlighted background around isolates indicated these were within 10 pairwise SNPs. The different pink tone for ST20 K. pneumoniae indicates distinct sub-clusters identified among these isolates in Pakistan (over 1000 SNPs). Abbreviations for BARNARDS hospitals are detailed in the “Methods” section. The figure was created using Adobe Illustrator v26.5. Source data are provided in Supplementary Data 5 and 6.
