FIG 1
The phylogeny of clinical isolates 1 and 2 was determined by the neighbor-joining method from partial sequences of KVAR_017 (yggE) and was prepared with MEGA6 software. The percentages of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 replicates) are shown next to the branches. All reference sequences were obtained from NCBI, and NCBI reference sequence numbers are included.
