Phylogenetic analysis of the 3.5-kb aniA-norB gene locus of Neisseria spp. isolates in study detecting novel US N. meningitidis urethritis clade subtypes in Japan. Tree was constructed by using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The gonococcal aniA-norB locus was derived from N. gonorrhoeae FA1090 (GenBank accession no. NC_002946.2); all others are from N. meningitidis isolates. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. IMD, invasive meningococcal disease; Nm, N. meningitidis, ST, sequence type; STI, sexually transmitted infection.
