Nucleotide sequence identities between partial sequences of inlA genes ( positions 799 to 1531 bp) and deduced theoretical molecular masses of InlA of L. monocytogenes strains H1, H17, H32, H34, and LO28 and the epidemic reference strains Scott A (serotype 4b) and EGD-e (serotype 1/2a)

a
The nucleotide change implicated in synthesis of a truncated form of InlA is given in parentheses. The position of the first translated codon is denoted as +1.
b
Results are from the partial sequences of inlA from Jonquieres et al. (22).
