Figure 1. Phylogenetic tree showing the relationship of the 45 Elizabethkingia-like blood culture isolates to related bacterial species using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

The tree was constructed by maximum likelihood method using General Time Reversible model and Escherichia coli (CP010304) as the root. A total of 1325 nucleotide positions were included in the analysis. Bootstrap values were calculated from 1000 replicates. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. Names and accession numbers are given as cited in GenBank database.
