Maximum-likelihood phylogeny based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis of the type strains representing the five novel species and two subspecies using mega X. A total of 1078 positions were included in the dataset. The same reference set used for ANIb analysis was included along with Brochothrix thermosphacta ATCC®11509T for an outgroup. The tree was reconstructed using mega X with 1000 bootstrap replicates and the Kimura two-parameter model [50, 51]; bootstrap values <70 are not shown. Novel Listeria species type strains are bolded and identified with superscript T.
