Figure 3From: The central region of the msp gene of Treponema denticola has sequence heterogeneity among clinical samples, obtained from patients with periodontitis Evolutionary relationships of T. denticola msp gene, deduced from the sequences of 17 clinical samples, ATCC 35405, ATCC 33520, and OTK. The phylogenetic analysis was performed using the neighbor-joining method with MEGA 4 on aligned sequences from the msp complete cds sequence (bootstrap values >75 are shown at nodes).Back to article page
