Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Listeria monocytogenes Isolated from Milk and Milk Products in Kaduna, Nigeria

Figure 3

Molecular phylogenetic tree showing relationship between Nigerian L. monocytogenes isolates (red color) with reference sequences from GenBank database. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura 3-parameter model. The tree with the highest log likelihood (−2760.2483) is shown. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branch and 1000 bootstrap value was used to assess the tree confidence interval. All analyses were performed in MEGA6 software.
