Phylogenetic tree of Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. thailandensis strains from Gabon, 2012–2013. Phylogenetic analysis by multilocus sequence typing amplification (MLST) of isolate Gb100 (from 62-year-old patient who died of melioidosis), B. pseudomallei soil isolate C2 (sample collected at site C), and B. thailandensis soil isolate D50 (sample collected at site D), together with sequence types representing all B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis isolate accessible in the MLST database.

Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree of Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. thailandensis strains from Gabon, 2012–2013. Phylogenetic analysis by multilocus sequence typing amplification (MLST) of isolate Gb100 (from 62-year-old patient who died of melioidosis), B. pseudomallei soil isolate C2 (sample collected at site C), and B. thailandensis soil isolate D50 (sample collected at site D), together with sequence types representing all B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis isolate accessible in the MLST database. Phylogenetic tree was constructed by using the neighbor-joining algorithm with the Kimura 2-parameter model. Bootstrap test was for 500 repetitions. Sequence type labels were omitted for simplicity. Position of the isolates from Gabon, including their closest relatives, are indicated.
