Summary of gene congruence analysis
| Gene | No. incongruence genes by SH test* | Random trees† |
|---|---|---|
| adk | 1 (atpA) | 8 (atpA) |
| atpA | 6 (adk, ddl, gdh, gyd, pstS, purK) | 76 (adk) |
| ddl | 6 (adk, atpA, gdh, gyd, pstS, purK) | 8 (atpA) |
| gdh | 1 (atpA) | 1 (atpA) |
| gyd | 2 (adk, atpA) | 0 (atpA) |
| pstS | 6 (adk, atpA, ddl, gdh, gyd, purK) | 3 (atpA) |
| purK | 3 (atpA, adk, gyd) | 1 (atpA) |
*Number of incongruent genes at the p<0.05 level based on a Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) test of tree topologies. The incongruent genes are in parentheses.
†Number of random tree topologies out of 100 random trees that are better fit to the gene tree from the most incongruent multilocus sequence typing (MLST) gene. The most incongruent MLST gene is given in parentheses.
