Clustering of STs from diverse world regions by use of the minimum spanning algorithm. Each circle represents an ST. The area of each circle corresponds to the number of isolates of a given ST in the MLST database. A clonal complex is a group of STs sharing a minimum of 6 out of 7 alleles [31]. The inferred putative ancestor of all clonal complexes is ST 289. Green portions represent STs found in Gambia including those used for the study while the other colours represent STs found in the rest of the world
