Core genome maximum likelihood phylogeny of 59 strains of N. gonorrhoeae from WA. The most likely root for the tree was computed using TempEst [28]. The tree is annotated with geographical location, year of isolation and sequence types derived from three molecular typing methods (MLST, NG-MAST, NG-STAR). Novel and internationally reported sequence types that are associated with AMR are indicated. A, B and C clusters include persistent genetic clusters shared between metropolitan and remote areas of WA
