Hypothetical consensus multilocus tree showing the molecular genetic relationships among P. aeruginosa strains for oriC, citS, oprI, ampC, fliC, and pilA. The genetic distance matrices of each locus were normalized by setting the maximum allelic distance to 1 and were averaged. The resulting mean genetic distance matrix enabled the construction of the normalized consensus multilocus tree by the neighbor-joining method (41).
