Phylogenetic comparison of the Brucella canis BfR-SPBR-consensus strain newly identified in São Paulo with isolates from worldwide outbreaks. The genetic relationship between the outbreak strain B. canis BfR-SPBR-consensus and previously sequenced B. canis strains was determined by SNP analysis. The genome sequences were analyzed with ParSNP, FastTree2 and iTol. The B. suis outgroup strain and the B. canis outbreak strain under study are marked in bold. Shown is a neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree with the branch length displaying the relative genetic distance. All bootstrap support values were either below 0.5 or above 0.8.
