Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on ITS region of rDNA sequence data for clinical <i>C</i>. <i>lusitaniae</i> strains isolated from nine neonates from Hospital A in Kuwait together with four reference strains.

The sequence data for C. lusitaniae strains isolated from 2 neonates from Hospital B during the study period and one archived C. lusitaniae strain isolated previously from a neonate from Hospital A were also used for comparison purpose. The numbers on the node branches are bootstrap frequencies.
