Figure 3. Neisseria meningitidis Phylogenetic Analysis.

Figure 3

Phylogenetic tree based on whole-genome sequencing analysis. The whole genome sequence of N meningitidis MC58 was used as the mapping reference. Isolates are color-coded based on the serogroup, which was derived from the sequence data. Phylogenetic distances between isolates do not support a link between any of these cases, which is consistent with the findings of an epidemiologic investigation. SNP indicates single-nucleotide polymorphism.
