Supernetwork constructed from in silico data of six typing methods and experimental data from two methods. The supernetwork created from the combination of each maximum parsimony tree from the following typing methods: Stx-phage insertion site typing, MLVA, CGF, SNP genotyping, mCGH, and GISSH-based novel region distribution typing. Both mCGH and CGF datasets included the in silico data from the strains in Table 1 in addition to experimental data from the remaining strains in Table 2. Maximum parsimony trees were combined using the un-weighted mean distance and Z-closure with 1000 iterations; the resulting supernetwork was displayed using the equal angle method.
