First Report of Chlamydia abortus in Farmed Fur Animals

Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene fragment (1358 bp) (a), 16S-23S intergenic spacer and full length of 23S rRNA domain I fragment (990 bp) (b), and ompA gene fragment (940 bp) (c). Representative sequences of established Chlamydiaceae species as well as the sequences obtained from this study (Genbank accession number was shown in bold) were included. S. negevensis strain Z was used as an outgroup. Based on these alignments, phylogenetic trees were constructed by the neighbor-joining method using the Maximum Composite Likelihood model with MEGA 5.05.
