Clonal diversity of ESBL-EC isolates from LRT (n = 385). Isolates were classified into five ERIC-profile (EP) groups designated EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, and EPx (other ERIC-profiles). A Circular dendrogram showing groups of isolates with similar ERIC-profiles. Two major clusters of isolates within groups EP1 and EP3, designated as EP1-I and EP3-II, are marked with a dashed and solid line, respectively. B Location distribution of isolates from cluster EP1-I and EP3-II. C Heatmap diagram showing the prevalence of isolates from cluster EP1-I and EP3-II according to location over time. Legend for B and C: Different departments of hospital A are designated as A1–A16; the national center of oncology with letter B; a general hospital with C and isolates assigned to group “Other Locations” with OTL
