Correlation between phylogenies based on Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) core genome and pathogenicity clusters: Concatenated amino acid sequences of the six genes fusA, gapA, gltA, gyrB, lacF, lepA from four bacterial spot pathogen strains along with other sequenced xanthomonads are considered in the analysis. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted in MEGA4.
