Maximum-likelihood tree of 39 Legionella pneumophila ST1 isolates, including isolates from investigation of 2 cases of healthcare-associated Legionnaires’ disease in patients in France hospitalized 5 months apart in the same room (red bar). The tree was constructed using 258 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified after the removal of recombination events. Bootstrap values were calculated from 500 replicates; only values >90 were indicated on the tree. Values at the right side of th

Figure. Maximum-likelihood tree of 39 Legionella pneumophila ST1 isolates, including isolates from investigation of 2 cases of healthcare-associated Legionnaires’ disease in patients in France hospitalized 5 months apart in the same room (red bar). The tree was constructed using 258 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified after the removal of recombination events. Bootstrap values were calculated from 500 replicates; only values >90 were indicated on the tree. Values at the right side of the tree represent the number of SNPs between the genome compared with the genome of patient 2 after recombination removal.
