Phylogenetic relationships of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene fragment of Streptococcus suis isolated from humans in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia (BL1-BL6 taxa), with sequences data of S. suis available in GenBank. The phylogeny was inferred using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (13). The GenBank accession number and strain name are written as taxon name. To minimize crowding, some tree branches were condensed. The number of taxa in each condensed branch is indicated. The locatio

Figure 2. Phylogenetic relationships of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene fragment of Streptococcus suis isolated from humans in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia (BL1-BL6 taxa), with sequences data of S. suis available in GenBank. The phylogeny was inferred using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (13). The GenBank accession number and strain name are written as taxon name. To minimize crowding, some tree branches were condensed. The number of taxa in each condensed branch is indicated. The location of standard American Type Culture Collection isolate (GenBank accession no. EF198476) is shown. Respective gene sequence of full-genome data of S. pneumoniae (accession no. LR129844) was co-analyzed as outgroup. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered in the bootstrap test (1,000 replicates) are shown next to the branches (16). Bootstrap values of <50% are not shown. The genetic distances were computed using the Kimura 2-parameter method (17). Phylogenetic analyses were conducted in MEGA6 (18). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
