From: Genomic analysis of the multi-host pathogen Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae reveals extensive recombination as well as the existence of three generalist clades with wide geographic distribution

Population structure of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae based on phylogenetic inference. This tree is based on > 400 conserved bacterial protein sequences, generated using PhyloPhlAn. Other Erysipelothrix spp. were used as the outgroup for rooting the tree (clade collapsed). Concentric rings illustrate host species of origin (colored squares) and geographic origin (grey-scale). Arrows indicate isolates whose correct clade association is not resolved between the phylogenetic and chromosome painting approaches. Presence of the surface protective antigen type B (SpaB) gene was exclusive to Clade 1, while the SpaA gene was found among the two other clades and intermediate isolates
