Figure 3

Phylogenetic analyses of concatenated sequences of Chlamydia. Concatenated sequences were aligned and analysed in MEGA737. Numbers on tree nodes indicate bootstrap values over 75% of the main branches. Horizontal lines are scale for nucleotide substitutions per site. (A) Neighbor-Joining tree of concatenated sequences of 52 ribosomal genes (rMLST)14 of Chlamydia Type strains as well as three Candidatus species (Ca. C. corallus, Ca. C. ibidis and Ca. C. sanzinia), C. psittaci strain NL_Borg and two additional C. gallinacea strains. All C. gallinacea strains (Dutch strains indicated by an arrow) clustered together in a well-supported and distinct clade with Chlamydia avium as the closest relative. (B) Neighbor-Joining tree of concatenated sequences of 7 housekeeping genes fragments (MLST)41 of 27 C. gallinacea strains. Shared Sequence types (ST) in clades are indicated by color and STs are denoted by the color key.
