Molecular serotype identification based on the sequence heterogeneity of the 790-bp fragment (positions 1437 to 2226, corresponding to the regions of the amplicon obtained with primer pair cpsES3-cpsGA1) at the 3′ end of cpsE-cpsF and the 5′ end of cpsG (the relevant primers are indicated). Numbering start point 1 refers to start point 1 of the sequence with GenBank accession number AF332908 (for serotype reference strain 3139). Dashes indicate the same sequence as the consensus sequence; *, for serotype Ib, position 2221 refers to the sequence with GenBank accession number AB050723.
