Figure 2. Example of plate design and interpretation of results for the genetic classification of F. tularensis strain LVS.

Figure 2

A) The allelic state of each marker in the LVS strain is indicated in boldface. A colored well corresponds to a phylogenetically determining (canonical) marker for a specific genetic subclade. B) A phylogenetic tree is generated from hierarchical analysis of the typing results. Thick lines indicate the inferred evolutionary history of strain LVS. D = derived state, A = ancestral state.
