FIG 3.

BAD1 sequences from the environmental samples belong to the newly defined haplotype 5. Representative B. dermatitidis BAD1 sequences from the previously identified haplotypes 1 to 3 (32), all published genomes (bolded), and the environmental isolate consensus sequence were aligned. Haplotype designations are indicated at the beginning of the sequences. Sequence numbering is based on the ATCC 26199 reference genome sequence but presented as the reverse complement because BAD1 is on the 3′ DNA strand. The. B. gilchristii haplotype 4 was not included in the alignment because it is substantially different from the BAD1 sequence of B. dermatitidis and contains two large insertions (32). The sequenced genomes from strains ATCC 18187, ATCC 18188, and the environmental consensus sequence (Env Consensus) did not match the previously identified haplotypes and were designated haplotype 5. Haplotype 5 BAD1 sequences contained an identical 5-base pair insertion as haplotype 3 but also had an additional A → G conversion at base 330708.
