Phylogenetic analysis of isolates implicated in an outbreak Burkholderia lata infection from intrinsically contaminated chlorhexidine mouthwash, Australia, 2016. The maximum-likelihood tree is constructed from core genome single-nucleotide polymorphism alignments (N = 512,480) of the outbreak genomes, bootstrapped 1,000 times, and archival genomes from B. cepacia complex group K, relative to the reference genome B. lata A05 (identified by an asterisk). B. metallica was included as a comparator.
