The 19SMN4T and ST27MN3 genomes were compared with the genomes of the 11 phylogenetically closest strains: 5,252 orthologous genes were found, and the core genome contained 3,259 genes. The phylogenetic tree inferred from the concatenated sequences of the core genes is shown in Fig. 2 and was coincident with the core phylogeny of the whole genus based only on 1,054 gene sequences (Gomila et al., 2022). The strain clustering and branching orders in the autoMLST and core phylogeny analyses were similar for both trees, except for strain KC (pgs9) and the three “S. songnenensis” strains.
