Investigation of Q fever endocarditis, Greece. A) Neighbor-joining tree of Coxiella burnetii genotypes determined by multispacer sequence typing. Analysis was performed by using MEGA version 7 software (https://www.megasoftware.net) and the neighbor-joining method (maximum composite likelihood method) with 1,000 replicates. Numbers along branches are bootstrap values. Arrow indicates new genotype from Greece. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. B) Seroepidemiologic evidence of
