Phylogenetic clustering of Staphylococcus argenteus. (A) Unrooted phylogeny based on 52,329 SNPs depicting all available S. argenteus genome sequences available in the NCBI Reference Sequence database (n=120) and the isolate from this study. Sequence types (STs) and number of isolates per clade is highlighted with * indicating the presence of other STs. (B) Detailed rooted phylogeny of the ST2250 clade where MRSA isolates are noted as are the Swedish PJI isolate in red. Scalebar indicate substitutions per site.

A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis using IQ-TREE of all publically available S. argenteus genomes (n=120) from NCBIs RefSeq database confirmed this and it clustered as expected within the ST2250 clade, Figure 1.
