Figure 3. Phylogenetic placement of Brucella isolates BRSO-2020-213 and BRSO-2021-230 from 2 patients diagnosed with brucellosis in French Guiana, 2020. A genome-based tree was constructed by using a selection of reference Brucella genomes (Appendix Table) on the PATRIC platform (BRC NIAID Bioinformatics Resource Centers, https://www.bv-brc.org). The number of compared genes was fixed at 1,000, and all other parameters were set by default. Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site.
