Heat map and hierarchical cluster analysis of PaLoc region genes. A heat map illustrating the sequence similarity. Strains CBA7201–CBA7209 isolated from Korean patients with CDI are highlighted in bold. Strain names of C. difficile strains are indicated differently depending on the MLST clade: navy blue (clade 1), purple (clade 2), yellow (clade 3), green (clade 4), and sky blue (clade 5).
