Phylogenetic tree based on 34,307 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found among 51 Brucella genome sequences. The clinical isolates bneohCR1 and bneohCR2 cluster with B. neotomae 5K33 and differ by 164 SNPs. A different color is used to represent each Brucella species. Dotted red lines denote the 3 B. neotomae isolates, which overlap at the tip of the branch because of the high identity among them.
