eBURST analysis of 13 STs of porcine extraintestinal Escherichia coli. The clonal structure of ExPEC is demonstrated by eBURST plots based on the profile of seven allelic housekeeping genes. Two STs differing in one locus but sharing the other six loci constitute a single locus variant (SLV); a double locus variant (DLV) means the STs contain two different loci. STs that did not include any SLVs with others are termed singletons. We observed nine main clonal complexes (CCs; CC12, CC648, CC354, CC141, CC405, CC457, CC1011, CC117 and CC95), and three singletons (ST788, ST5170 and ST5171). Strains from the same ancestor are grouped together in blue circles
