Maximum-likelihood phylogeny of whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms of the FT7 Francisella tularensis isolate from a ringtail possum in Australia (boldface) with other Francisella species, including biovar japonica. The single nucleotide polymorphism analysis was performed by mapping reads against a reference genome sequence F. tularensis subsp. tularensis SCHU-S4 (GenBank accession no. NC_006570.2) in addition to 16 genomes of the F. tularensis complex obtained from GenBank. Isolates a

Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site, and asterisks represent nodes supported by bootstrap values >70%.
