Phylogenetic relationship among 1 to 22 sequence types (STs) of Bartonella quintana strains based on eBURST analysis (http://eburst.mlst.net/default.asp). Black dots indicate ST numbers of B. quintana strains. A clonal complex was defined as a group of STs that had 8 identical alleles. Clonal complexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 consist of STs 1–4, STs 6–7, STs 8–10 and 14, and STs 15–21, respectively. A lineage was defined as a group of STs that had ≥7 identical alleles. Color circles show 4 lineages class
