Dendrogram based on multiple locus variable number of tandem repeats–16-loci panel analysis of Brucella spp. (http://mlva.u-psud.fr/brucella/) and clinical isolates from human cerebrospinal fluid samples from 2 patients with brucellosis. The isolates bneohCR1 and bneohCR2 (red branches) showed a pattern consistent with previously reported profiles for Brucella neotomae (blue shading). Black, gray, and tic marks are used to differentiate between adjacent species. Arrows separate small neighboring
