Figure 5. Phylogenies of rugose and non-rugose producing O1 V. cholerae strains isolated in Haiti.
(A) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of rugose (green) and non-rugose (red) producing clinical and environmental strains. Phylogeny was constructed with MEGA5 using the Kimura 2-parameter nucleotide substitution model with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. Clades with bootstrap support greater than 70 are indicated with an asterisk. Clinical strains are prefixed with AA or HC and environmental strains are prefixed with Env., (B) Neighbor-joining phylogeny of Haitian strains displaying the global relationship to the N16961 and O396 reference strains.
