Dendogram of Bartonella strains identified by partial sequencing of the gltA gene. The tree shown is based on the neighbour-joining method. Bootstrap values are based on 1000 replicates. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. There were a total of 272 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA 5.
