Article Title: Multi-host distribution of Rhodococcus equi (Prescottella equi) strains and their phylogenomic clustering

Figure Lengend Snippet: Population structure of the global Rhodococcus equi dataset including 233 genomes from 18 countries. Tree constructed using ad hoc core-genome MLST (cgMLST) scheme containing 2’737 genes generated in Ridom Seqsphere + v9.0.1 ( https://www.ridom.de/seqsphere/cgmlst/ ) and converted to a neighbor-joining phylogeny using the R package ape . The cgMLST phylogeny was rooted at the mid-point and visualized using iTOL . The year and country of isolation are shown in the inner and second ring from the centre respectively. Source attribution of the different isolates is shown in the third ring. Presence/absence of the virulence-associated plasmid and the various plasmid categories are color-coded in the outer ring. The scale bar expresses the average number of nucleotide substitutions per site
