Phylogenetic tree of 8 Desulfovibrio isolates from study of Desulfovibrio bacteremia at a tertiary-care hospital in Japan, 2020–2025. Tree is based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and ANI heatmap and dendrogram comparing study isolates (numbers at left, defined in the key) with type or reference genomes. Cells are colored by ANI (%) on a fluorescent-green gradient; higher identity appears brighter. Blue shading indicates study isolates. Light blue shading indicates previously reported D. fairfieldensis isolates (FH 26001/95 and D4). Superscript T indicates type strains. Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site. ANI, average nucleotide identity.
