Phylogeny of the Moroccan strains based on MLSA. The phylogenetic trees were generated separately (A) for Pectobacterium and (B) for Dickeya strains. The alignment of the concatenated genes fusA, rpoD, rpoS, acnA, purA, recA, mdh, mtlD, groEL, secY, glyA, gapA and rplB was generated using ClustalW; the evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method and the evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using MEGA7 software. The name of the Moroccan isolates is underlined.
