Fig. 2 Neighbour joining phylogenetic tree of core gene sequences of genotype C from pacific adrq− strains (italic), adr subtypes from the pilot study (bold) and database (bold italic). Sequences belonged to pacific island shown by first island name letter after their sample code; F, Fiji; K, Kiribati; T, Tonga and V for Vanuatu. Strains rooted with sample I98. Figure shows bootstrap value of ≥70% and scale denotes percent diversity. Viet, Vietnam. Sequence variations of pacific strains grouped into two sub-clusters, A and B.
