Main Article

Figure 3

Time-calibrated phylogenetic tree of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST105(CC5)-SCCmecII-t002 lineage, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2014–2017. Chronogram constructed using Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms from 73 genomes. Maximum clade credibility tree estimated using a strict clock rate of 1.1927 × 10–6 substitutions/site/year (95% highest posterior density 1.5054–2.3351 × 10–6). Node labels indicate 95% highest posterior density values of major clades. Asterisks (*) indicate posterior values >0.98. Scale indicates substitutions per site per year. CC, clonal complex; SCC, staphylococcal cassette chromosome; ST, sequence type.
