Phylogenetic analysis of genome sequences for Neisseria meningitidis strains. With the exception of reference strain 053442 (serogroup C, sequence type 4821), all strains in groups I and II were sequenced in this study. The strain identification number, serogroup (in boldface), sequence type, and porin A type are shown for each sequence. Bootstrap values are listed at nodes. Black dots preceding identification numbers indicate strains isolated from patients. The dotted line between N. lactamica

With the exception of reference strain 053442 (serogroup C, sequence type 4821), all strains in groups I and II were sequenced in this study. The strain identification number, serogroup (in boldface), sequence type, and porin A type are shown for each sequence. Bootstrap values are listed at nodes. Black dots preceding identification numbers indicate strains isolated from patients. The dotted line between N. lactamica 020-06 and N. meningitidis represents a distance not to scale. The star indicates that the porin A gene was not detected by PCR or genome sequencing. Scale bar indicates amino acid substitutions per site.
