Names are given according to an international nomenclature that indicates first the international code of the home country followed by a number; strain P2M, however, is a strain designation kept due to several previous descriptions (CU, Cuba; DO, Dominican Republic; FRG, France, Guadeloupe [corresponds to HG used in Constant et al. (14)]; FRM, France, Martinique; JM, Jamaica; PR, Puerto Rico; TT, Trinidad and Tobago; and VC, Saint-Vincent).
