A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrating the relationship between Brevibacterium epidermidis EZ-K02 (NCBI accession number of 16S rRNA gene: MG050737) and the type strains from the LPSN site (www.bacterio.net). Analysis was conducted in MEGA7 [10] using the neighbor-joining method based on Jukes-Cantor evolutionary distances. The percentages of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. Dermabacter hominis was used as outgroup.
