Figure 1.
Phylogeny of CcrA4 (panel A) and CcrB4 (panel B) alleles.
Translated sequences of ccrAB are from the eight S. hominis sequences obtained here (SH, underlined), along with various S. hominis (SH) and S. aureus (SA) reference sequences. Circles outline the major CcrAB alleles. Allelic variant and strain name (and GenBank accession number) are as follows: SH1 = GIFU12263 (AB063171); SH2 = DAR4404 (JQ836542); SH3 = DAR4401 (JQ836541); SH4 = DAR4386 (JQ836536), DAR4388 (JQ836537), DAR4394 (JQ836540), DAR4405 (JQ836543); SH5 = DAR4392 (JQ836539); SH6 = DAR4391 (JQ836538); SA1 = 85-2082 (AB037671); SA2 = N315 (NC_002745); SA3 = HDE288 (AF411935); SA4 = CHE482 (EF126185); SA5 = CHE482 (EF126186).

Phylogeny of sequence types (STs) based on neighbor-net (panel A) and ClonalFrame (panel B) algorithms.
Numbers at nodes on the ClonalFrame tree are posterior probabilities >50/100. Highlighting indicates the three S. hominis subsp. novobiosepticus STs.
