Neighbor-joining analysis of the sequence 16S rRNA of strain Manara.
Phylogenetic analysis based of 16S rRNA including 19 representative species of Leptospira spp. The corresponding sequence of Leptonema illini strain DSM 21528 was used as outgroup. The dendrogram was constructed using Neighbor-joining. Bootstrap values are displayed as percentages.
