Geographic distribution of the 282 isolates clustered in nine groups and Weblogo representation of the consensus sequence. Barcodes were grouped together after 10,000 random pairwise distance comparison of 230 samples. Isolates were grouped together based on the number of time they were clustered together after the 10,000 simulations. The Weblogo provide information on the level of diversity per barcode position in each group. Groups were geolocalized using the geographical centroid of samples within the group. The significance of each group was established by comparing the mean distance of the samples to the geographical centroid within a group to the distribution of average distance after random sampling within groups. The p value <0.05 was significant
