Trees constructed from the sequences of the eight individual genes included in the final MLSA scheme. The trees for all studied strains (n = 123) were generated using the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap support values (%) at each of the nodes are indicated only for trees showing well-defined clusters. Species assignment of clinical isolates according to the criteria of Adékambi et al. (3): ■, M. abscessus; •, M. massiliense; ▴, M. bolletii. Type strains:*, M. abscessus CIP 104536T; **, M. massiliense CIP 108297T; ***, M. bolletii CIP 108541T.
