Virulence-modulating (VM) proteins in Leptospira and Bartonella species. Unrooted phylogenetic tree of VM proteins from Leptospira interrogans (Lin, red), B. australis (Bau, blue), B. bacilliformis (Bbac, green), and B. ancashensis (BAE, black). VM proteins from L. interrogans, B. bacilliformis, and B. australis, cluster by species; the 5 VM proteins encoded by B. ancashensis group with their B. bacilliformis homologs. Scale bar indicates amino acid substitutions per site.
