^aThis set represents a collection of C. albicans isolates which was considered unrelated in a previous study (20) and includes the following isolates: FC-12, FC-15, FC-5, FC-27, FC-2, FC-21, FC-25, FC-6, FC-18, FC-24, FC-22, FC-4, FC-13, FC-8, FC-26, FC-9, FC-10, FC-20, FC-28, FC-29, FC-7, and FC-16. 

^bUnderscores represent S_ABs significantly different from a random collection.
