The phylogenetic position of isolate SMC-bol-002 and other species belong to the rapidly growing mycobacteria are based on rpoB sequences. This tree was constructed by using the neighbor-joining method and visualized with MEGA 5.0. The percentages at the nodes represent bootstrap levels which are supported by 1,000 re-sampled datasets. Scale bars indicate evolutionary distances in base substitutions per site. M.: Myobacterium.
