^aResults are given in the shortcut form VR-probe (see “por VR typing nomenclature” in the text for details). Where more than one probe was bound, probe numbers are separated by a comma. Parentheses indicate decreased signal intensity.

^b±, binding result was equivocal; X, strain was bound.

^cSerovars were previously determined.
