Figure Lengend Snippet: Dendrogram containing the pulsotypes obtained on the four farms. Per pulsotype, one isolate is shown as an example. Consecutive the dendrogram, pulsotype pattern, farm and number of isolates belonging to the pulsotype on the total number of typed isolates per farm are shown. For each example, the isolate origin, unit (NU: nursing unit, GU: growing unit, GU1: growing unit 1, FU: finishing unit, FU2: finishing unit 2), spa type, SCC mec type (NT type 3: mec A complex NT/ ccr complec C) and MLVA cluster are given.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Minimum spanning tree of the farm C MLVA types. The MLVA types are indicated by numbers, according to origin (green: piglet, orange: sow and blue: wall). The dominant clusters B, C, D, and E of the farm are indicated in coloured spheres, whereas the non-dominant clusters are indicated in black spheres.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of some observations. A) Piglets carrying non-related MLVA types to their mother sow (sow 12 and her offspring sampled one day after farrowing on farm B); B) Overview of the MLVA types found in the three units of farm A (green: nursing unit, red: growing unit and blue: finishing unit); C) Piglets carrying related MLVA types to their mother sow (sow 9 and her offspring sampled 3, 6, and 20 days after farrowing on farm D). In addition, piglets of the same litter carried various related and unrelated MLVA types.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution of the MLVA clusters, observed on the four farms, at each time point after farrowing. The cluster designation is shown in the bar. The non-dominant clusters and non-clustered MLVA types are given in the purple bar without indication. On farm A , no isolates were obtained within the hour and 17 days after farrowing, whereas on farm B 23 days after farrowing. The piglets of farm C were transported to the second site after a short stay in the growing unit of site 1. The animals received a promycin and amoxicillin treatment in both growing units. The pigs of farm D were moved from one finishing unit to another after a few weeks (h: hour, d: days, NU: nursing unit, GU: growing unit, FU: finishing unit).
