Relatedness among strains. Each strain was assayed for its relatedness to every other strain by several methods. A) The MLST type of each isolate was identified as described in the Methods; the scale bar indicates topological distance in relative distance units (RDU) between strains. Isolate O35E was excluded from A) as it contained two sequence variants (adk and fumC alleles) that were not present in the M. catarrhalis MLST database at the time of submission. In addition, * denotes strains whose MLST types were taken from the M. catarrhalis MLST database [16]; all other data presented here are taken from pyrosequencing efforts. Neighbor-Joining analysis of was performed for both point mutations in the core genome (B) or genic differences in the distributed (C) genome. Branches in the same neighbor group are identically color-coded and length bars indicate the topological distance measured in 1-average nucleotide identity between each genome.
