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

Table 1 Recombination detected in the core genome of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae

	Clade 1	Clade 2	Clade 3
% of alignment implicated BNG	0	38	24
% of alignment implicated Gubbins	27	86	58
r/m	0.96	2.18	0.55

Percentage of the Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae core genome found to have experienced recombination within each clade using BratNextGen (BNG) and Gubbins. Recombination to mutation (r/m) rates for each clade were estimated in Gubbins
