    Minimum spanning tree (MST) constructed from 45 hqSNPs. Intermediate hypothetical ancestors were inferred for some lineages and manually placed in the network. Nucleotide substitutions are indicated by dashes along the branches, and deletion events are indicated by arrows. ASP, antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. The ~10 kb deletion in the SXT is inferred twice in the model, and occurs between two transposase genes, VCH1786_I0078 and VCH1786_I0087. *, nonsynonymous transversion.

    FIG 2 

    BLAST atlas. Genes from each de novo assembly were compared against both chromosomes of the completed genome 2010EL-1786. Absence of color (white) indicates that a strain is missing genetic material that is present in the reference. Regions of interest are denoted by black rectangles on the circumference. Three genomes have a shorter Illumina read length (36 bp), which might have resulted in fewer gene predictions, which manifests as an artifact on the atlas in the superintegron region. The isolate names are listed from the outermost to the innermost tracks.

    Circos plot showing structural genome rearrangements. Each alternating white/gray band represents one of the nine strains sequenced on the PacBio RS platform, with an inner tenth track representing the published reference strain (7). Each band contains three tracks. The outermost, orange tiles represent contigs from de novo assemblies aligned back to the 2010EL-1786 reference. Inversions within contigs are highlighted in blue. Black line plots show local alignment quality over 1kb windows, in terms of Phred QV, for long read assembled contigs compared to the 2010EL-1786. Note the smallest dips in QV correspond to single SNPs. Green line plots show local coverage of Illumina short reads mapped to the reference over 500bp windows. The innermost band contains a purple track showing contigs from a separate long read de novo assembly of 2010EL-1786. The black QV track highlights differences between the long read and short assembly, indicating potential areas of misassembly in the original reference.

    Map of Haiti showing the year of isolation and geographic locations from which the isolates subjected to whole-genome sequencing at the CDC were sampled. Isolates, including those from other studies, were sampled from the Haitian departments Artibonite (n = 22), Ouest (n = 28), Sud (n = 5), Sud-Est (n = 1), Nord Ouest (n = 2) and Centre (n = 16) and also included one from a travel-associated case from the Dominican Republic.

The straight vertical lines at the right indicate that isolates that are indistinguishable by PFGE. A single asterisk indicates isolates that were serotyped as O1 Inaba. Three closely related isolates from Nepal were included and are designated by double asterisks. Collection date, location, and PFGE pattern information were used to guide selection of strains for whole-genome sequencing.
