FIG 2.

Dendrogram of the MLST analysis of 11 bloodstream isolates (isolates 1 to 11) and reference strains of Acinetobacter species. A 2,976-bp concatenated sequence consisting of seven housekeeping genes was inferred using the neighbor-joining method and a 1,000-replicate bootstrap analysis. Corresponding MLST profiles present in the Institut Pasteur MLST database (see http://www.pasteur.fr/mlst) are shown in parentheses. The sequences tested in this study are underlined. New STs recovered in this study include ST198, ST199, ST200, and ST201. The scale bar indicates the number of base substitutions per site.
