Maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis, including 100 bootstrap statistical replicates, and epidemiologic data for Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis, including 21 isolates from Argentina, 2006–2014; 3 control isolates (in black); and the public genome of American Type Culture Collection 11559, highlighting a lack of solid evidence for a common source for the surgical infections. Branch colors denote the province; isolate name colors denote the surgery type. The single-nucleotide polymor

Figure. Maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis, including 100 bootstrap statistical replicates, and epidemiologic data for Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis, including 21 isolates from Argentina, 2006–2014; 3 control isolates (in black); and the public genome of American Type Culture Collection 11559, highlighting a lack of solid evidence for a common source for the surgical infections. Branch colors denote the province; isolate name colors denote the surgery type. The single-nucleotide polymorphism–based comparison covered 21.3 Mbp (99% of the 21.5 Mbp of the unduplicated reference genome of B11533). The consistency index is 0.99 out of 1.00, indicating a low level of potential homoplasy in the dataset. The 3 tree nodes with <90% bootstrap statistical support are marked with a triangle.
