Whole genome alignment phylogeny of bovine-associated and reference E. coli strains. The phylogeny is based on a whole core genome alignment of 2,272,130 bp. The best scoring maximum likelihood (ML) tree was inferred with RAxML’s GTRGAMMA model with 1000 bootstrap resamplings. The tree was visualized with Dendroscope and bootstrap values below 50 removed. E. fergusonii serves as an outgroup and the corresponding branch is not to scale. Bovine-associated E. coli are indicated by colored cows, and both E. coli pathotypes and phylogroups are designated with a color code. ST numbers from the MLST analysis for each strain are given in parentheses. E. coli isolated from cows are widely distributed in the phylogroups and both commensal and MAEC strains are interspersed in the phylogenetic groups with a polyphyletic history
