Antibiotic resistance (A) and acquired virulence (B) scores for isolates with known capsular types. Resistance scores are on a scale of 0 (low) to 3 (high), and virulence 0 (low) to 5 (high). Resistance scores of 0 indicates no ESBL and no carbapenemase, 1 indicates the presence of an ESBL but still without carbapenemase, 2 indicates the presence of a carbapenemase without colistin resistance and 3 a carbapenemase with colistin resistance. Scores of 0/1 are irrespective of colistin resistance with scores of 2/3 irrespective of the presence of an ESBL. Virulence scores are based on the presence of yersinibactin (ybt), colibactin (clb) and/or aerobactin (iuc). A score of 0 indicates none of these genes were found with a score of 5 showing all three were present. Scores of 1–4 indicate the following: 1 - yersiniabactin only, 2 - yersiniabactin and colibactin (or colibactin only), 3 aerobactin only, 4– aerobactin and yersiniabactin. Bars are ordered by frequency of capsule type
