UPGMA dendrogram based on the allelic profiles. The dendrogram was constructed based on 247 positions of allelic profiles of representative strains, as well as the type strains of B. longum subsp. infantis and B. longum subsp. longum. B. longum subsp. infantis JCM 1222T was used as the out-group. The scale bar shows the identical rate of allelic profile. Bootstrap values (%) based on 1000 replicates are given for nodes replicated at more than 95%. aS-I, subject’s fecal sample collected in early infancy; S-C, subject’s fecal sample collected in childhood; M, mother’s prenatal fecal sample; BM, postnatal breast milk sample. *Monophyletic strain pair detected from both subjects’ fecal sample(s) in early infancy and their mothers’ prenatal fecal sample(s). †Monophyletic strain pair detected from both subjects’ fecal sample(s) in early infancy and their mothers’ postnatal breast milk sample(s). #Monophyletic strain pair detected from subjects’ fecal samples in both early infancy and childhood
