Comparison of MU VNTR profiles between the environment and humans. The relatedness between the genotypes was inferred using the UPGMA method in MEGA 7. Bootstrapping values for 1000 replicates are shown in percentage next to the branches. MIRU1 reference orthologs for M. marinum (the ancestor of MU), M. liflandii (another MPM), and M. ulcerans Agy99 (MU reference strain) were retrieved from GenBank with accession numbers given in the tree. MU: M. ulcerans; Sample test IDs and MU genotypes C, D, W are shown for environmental samples (B1NY, B6YE, W2YE, W7YE, W6AC) and BU lesions (H2ED, H3YE). The figure reveals clustering of MU genotypes from the environment and humans
