Unrooted UPGMA tree of study strains and MIRU-VNTRplus international reference strains. Reference strains are shown by color according to MIRU-VNTRplus lineage nomenclature; study strains are shown in white. Corresponding species are M. africanum (West African I and II), M. canettii (“Canetti” in the MIRU-VNTRplus reference set), M. caprae (“Caprae”), M. microti (“Vole”, “Llama”), M. pinnipedii (“Seal”), M. bovis (“Bovis”), and M. tuberculosis (all others). One representative of each genotype among study strains (n = 686) was used to determine phylogenetic relatedness to reference strains. Corresponding LSP-based nomenclature lineage names shown with colored lines.
