Phylogenetic Analysis
The first dataset was used to build the Maximum Likelihood (ML)
phylogenetic tree using IQ-TREE2 (v.1.6.10) with the best fit model
indicated by the Model Finder and involving 1000 bootstrap replicates
(Minh et al., 2020). The p-distances between strains were calculated
using MEGAX software (Kumar et al., 2018).
