Minimum spanning tree of Linezolid-resistant (LR) E. faecium (A) and E. faecalis (B). Core genome Multilocus Sequence Typing (cgMLST) minimum spanning tree based on 1423 (A) and 1972 (B) target genes, respectively, of LR enterococci isolated from patients (P) presenting clinical LRE clearance and persistence (defined as positive subsequent screening or clinical sample, outlined in red). Missing values were pairwise ignored. First and subsequent isolates are shown, the latter if available (e.g. P1;1, P1;2). Size of dots correlates with the number of identical genotypes. Numbers next to connecting lines indicate numbers of alleles varying between different genotypes. Multilocus Sequencing Typing (MLST) Sequence Types (ST) extracted from sequencing data in silico are displayed by colour
