Neighbor net (SplitsTree4) analysis of 188 Cronobacter and phylogenetically-related strains which was generated from the microarray-based gene differences that was described by Tall et al. [15]. The phylogenetic tree illustrates that the Cronobacter microarray could clearly separate the seven species of Cronobacter, with each species forming their own distinct cluster. The ST64 strains cluster together in a single cluster. The scale bar represents a 0.02 base substitution per site
