mutT based phylogenic tree. The phylogenic tree is based on alignments of the mutT gene found in the core genome of all 53 E. coli strain. The numbers close to the branches represent bootstrap support. The differently colored labels designate phylogroups: D (light green), B2 (red), E (green), B1 (dark blue), and A (blue). Groups D, B2 and E consisted predominantly of pathogens; Group A was almost exclusively non-pathogenic, while Group B1 consisted of a mixture of pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains.
