FIG. 4.
Dendrogram of Bartonella strains representative of Coxiella inferring Sj similarities obtained by UPGMA on the basis of immunoblotting with murine antiserum to B. henselae (left), and parsimony tree of Bartonella strains and Coxiella burnetii derived from gltA gene comparison (right). The support for each branch, as determined from bootstrap samples, is indicated by the value at the node. This analysis provided tree topology only, and lengths of both the vertical lines and the horizontal lines are not significant. The GenBank accession numbers for gltA gene sequences included are as follows: B. bacilliformis, Z70021; B. henselae, L38987; B. quintana, Z70014; B. elizabethae, Z70009; B. grahamii, Z70016; B. taylorii, Z70013; B. doshiae, Z70017; B. vinsonii, Z70015; and C. burnetii, M36338.
