Evolution and Conservation of Predicted Inclusion Membrane Proteins in Chlamydiae
Figure 2
Phylogenetic reconstructions of C. trachomatis Incs displaying tissue tropism clusters. Evolutionary history of Incs was inferred with the Neighbor-Joining method using the bootstrap test with 1000 replicates with the percentage of replicate trees associated with each clustered group shown next to the branches. Incs CT223 and CT229 cluster separate clades for ocular, genital, and LGV strains (a and b), CT345 clusters a separate LGV clade (c), and CT850 clusters separate LGV, ocular, and serovar E clades (d).
