FIG. 2.

The genetic relationships between the new isolate EC-01 and other isolates of B. bacilliformis. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic trees based on gltA (A) and ITS (B) sequence similarities were drawn using MEGA2 software. The distance matrix was calculated using Jukes-Cantor parameters and 231 sites for gltA and 361 sites for the ITS. The scale bar represents 0.5% and 0.2% divergence, respectively, for panels A and B. The numbers at nodes are the proportions of 1,000 bootstrap resamplings that support the topology shown. The NCBI accession numbers of the Bartonella sequences used in this analysis are shown.
