Figure 1. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on whole-genome multiple alignment of 24 Mycobacterium abscessus group genomesGenomes in Table 1 were aligned by using Mugsy (22), core segments of the alignment were identified by using Phylomark (23), and resulting concatenated nucleotide sequences were used for construction of the midpoint-rooted neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree by using MEGA (24)Strains from an outbreak of Mabscessus subspmassiliense infections at a cystic fibrosis center in Seattle, Washington, USA, are indicated in red; strains from an outbreak of Mabscessus subspmassiliense infections at a cystic fibrosis center in Papworth, UK, are indicated in blue (cluster 1) and purple (cluster 2); strains from Brazil are indicated in magenta; and the Mabscessus subspmassiliense type strain is indicated in greenBoostrap values obtained after 100 iterations were ≥97 for all nodes of the tree except 70 for the node separating strain M115 from the outbreak cluster and 40 and 41 for 2 nodes within the Papworth cluster 1 (6)SNPs, single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
