Figure 2. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences of Wohlfahrtiimonas spp. isolate from a patient with septicemia and wound myiasis in Washington, USA (laboratory identification no. 22912), isolates from flies and fly larvae (laboratory identification nos. 22913, 22914, 22915), and the most closely related type strains. Numbers at nodes denote bootstrap percentages based on 1,000 replicates; only values >50% are shown. GenBank accession numbers are given in parentheses. Bold indicates strains isolated in this study. The tree was rooted with Paenalcaligenes hominis CCUG 53761AT as the outgroup. Scale bar indicates substitutions per nucleotide position.
