Presence/absence profile of 79 genes encoding for virulence factors (upper part of the heatmap) and 18 genes encoding for resistance (bottom part). Some virulence and resistance factors were more represented in specific STs (only STs found in > 1 samples are specifically mentioned), as in the case of gentamicin resistance that is more prevalent in the ST228 isolates. For a more detailed overview of the single genomes’ profiles, see Additional file 3: Table S2
