Main Article

Figure

Phylogenetic tree for tp0548–tp0856 gene regions (1173–1233 bp) of clinical isolates of Treponema pallidum from Japan (bold) and reference isolates. The tree was constructed by using MEGA6 (https://www.megasoftware.net) with the bootstrapping maximum-likelihood algorithm and the Tamura–Nei model. Numbers along branches indicate bootstrap values. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. Strains from this study were submitted to GenBank under the following accession numbers: Osaka-20
