Phylogenetic trees showing relationships between the clinical isolate identified in this study (“Tours strain”) and type strains of members of the genus Ignatzschineria. A) Relationships among 16S rRNA sequences of “Tours strain” (GenBank accession no. KR184134) and Ignatzschineria strains; scale bar represents 2% differences in nucleotide sequence. B) Relationships among gyrB sequences of “Tours strain” (GenBank accession no. KR184135) and Ignatzschineria strains; scale bars represent 5% differences in nucleotide sequence. Bacillus subtilis was included as an outgroup organism. Numbers at branch nodes are bootstrap values.
