Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry profile dendrogram of selected pyogenic and zoonotic streptococci from study of human infections caused by unusual strains of Streptococcus halichoeri, United States. We compared main spectra profiles from S. halichoeri isolates to Bruker Biotyper (https://www.bruker.com) database entries from related streptococcal species. Distance level indicates relative similarity of mass spectral profiles. T indicates type strains.
