Phylogenomic and Molecular Demarcation of the Core Members of the Polyphyletic Pasteurellaceae Genera Actinobacillus, Haemophilus, and Pasteurella

A partial sequence alignment of (a) a nhaC family sodium:proton antiporter containing a 3-amino-acid insertion specific for all sequenced species of the genus Aggregatibacter (b) a methyl-galactoside ABC transporter substrate-binding protein containing a 1-amino-acid deletion specific for all sequenced species of the genus Mannheimia. In each case, the identified CSIs were only found in the sequenced members of the genera Aggregatibacter or Mannheimia and were absent from all other sequenced Gammaproteobacteria. Sequence information for other CSIs specific to Aggregatibacter or Mannheimia is presented in Supplemental Figures  14–19 and their characteristics are summarized in Tables 2 and 2.
