Figure 1. Phylogenetic analysis of 3063 bp concatenated housekeeping gene fragments from 9 non-pneumococcal. cmPCR+ strains isolated during this study (indicated as S. mitis-1, etc.).

Numbers to left indicate % sequence identity of concatenated 3063 bp from strain compared to represented S. pneumoniae strain at top of dendrogram. Numbers to right of strain (parenthesis) indicates percent identity of the 3063 bp sequence to the closest matching MLSA database strain (http://viridans.emlsa.net/). Also included are strain cmPCR sequence subtype designations (from Table 6) and specimen source. Dendrogram was created by subjecting aligned 3063 sequences to the neighbor-joining approach using the uncorrected distance method.
