Phylogeny of HrgC proteins from H. pylori and H. acinonychis. Seven bacterial HrgC sequences (YP_004074033, YP_008019852, WP_025697443, KEJ93376, KGG55171, EJS64418, and AIT14382) were used as outgroups to determine the root. Bootstrap values of 1000 replicates over 50 % are shown at the nodes. Strain names belonging to hspEAsia are colored in blue, hspAmerind in red and hpAsia2 in green. The gene map near hrgC is illustrated on the right. Lineage IIIa corresponding to the hpAsia2 strains shows a chimeric structure of the locus containing hrgC (Lineage III) and that containing the PabI family (in brackets)
