Figure 3

Minimum spanning tree of core-genome multilocus sequence types profiles from the 4 most prevalent 7-gene multilocus sequence type–based ST isolated from poultry in Tanzania, 2016–2017, in a study of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli, East Africa. Each color represents a different farm, with the exception of 4 ST353 isolates from human cases (dark blue). Core genome multilocus sequence type allele differences are indicated on each branch. The 2 pairs of isolates from different farms with the lowest number of allele differences, belonging to ST8043 (24 allele differences) and ST2122 (38 allele differences) (shown in brown and light pink) were from 2 farms in the same location in Luongo, Moshi. One was an intensive indigenous farm (light pink isolates), and the other was an intensive broiler farm (brown isolates). ST, sequence type.
