Evaluation of the Ribosomal Protein S1 Gene (<i>rpsA</i>) as a Novel Biomarker for <i>Mycobacterium</i> Species Identification

<div>Phylogenetic tree based on<i> rpsA</i> gene sequences shows the relationship of the 47 type strains of mycobacteria and 1 outgroup strain. This tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Topology was also evaluated by bootstrap analysis (MEGA program, 1000 repeats, with<i> R. equi</i> as the outgroup). The numerical values in the tree represent bootstrap results. The distance between two strains is the sum of the branch lengths between them.</div>
