Phylogenetic tree showing only the topology for all Leptospira interrogans STs and their continent of origin. The isolate obtained from the patient in this study with severe myasthenic manifestation of leptospirosis is indicated by a blue dot (ST247). Tree was constructed using the maximum-likelihood method with MEGA version 7.0 (5). ST, sequence type.
