Figure 1. Multilocus VNTR-Analysis–Based Dendrogram.

Figure 1

Eight VNTR loci were analyzed following standard protocols [6]. The amplification products were analyzed by DNA sequencing and compared with 89 B. anthracis reference strains [4] processed with Sequence Type Analysis and Recombinational Tests (START) software (K. Jolley, University of Oxford). A, B. anthracis phylogenetic group A; B, B. anthracis phylogenetic group B [7]; F, the newly discovered B. anthracis group from sub-Saharan rainforests including the strains B. anthracis CI and CA.
