A phylogenetic tree of the Mycobacterium genus based on softcore sequences, as described in the implementation section. Clades containing the majority of slow, fast and intermediate growth species are represented in red, blue and pink, respectively. The abscessus-clade is represented in orange. The different organisms were also classified according to a study that separated the genus Mycobacterium into five genera [54]. The different nodes specifically investigated by this study are indicated on the tree. The set of bootstraps values are at 100, with the exception of some nodes where the values are indicated
