Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree generated using B. cereus group isolates and reference strains. The tree was constructed using MEGA X and the genetic distance from the Kimura 2-parameter model was inferred from the concatenated 2829-bp sequences of seven housekeeping genes examined during MLST of Japanese B. cereus isolates and B. cereus group isolates from countries other than Japan. The tree was drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured as the number of substitutions per site. All bootstrap support values > 95% (based on 1000 replicates) are shown next to the nodes. Clades I to VI are indicated. The sources of the Japanese isolates are indicated with colored rectangles: animal (orange), food poisoning (dark green), hospital (blue green), and soil (purple)
