Minimum Spanning Tree generated using the BioNumerics software representing the fourteen dru types and the fifteen dru repeats observed in the studied isolates. Numerical values on the branches indicate the similarities (MST distance) between different dru types. BioNumerics software created similarity values (termed bins) and converted these values into distance units. The bin unit distance was set at 1% (i.e., dru types at a distance of 1 on the MST had a similarity of more than 99%, while dru types at a distance of 2 had a similarity of 98–99%, and so on). Dru types were assigned to the same cluster (depicted in color) if they were separated by an MST distance of 1 (i.e. if they showed a similarity of at least 99%)
