a
In some loci, alleles numbered 1 and 2 were absent since the alleles assigned these numbers belonged to E. coli strains of other O groups which were studied by MLEE in the same batch with the O157 strains. ADH, alcohol dehydrogenase; M1P, mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase; IDH, isocitrate dehydrogenase; 6PG, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase; GOT, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase; ADK, adenylate kinase; βGA, β-galactosidase; ACO, aconitase; MPI, mannose phosphate isomerase; PGI, phosphoglucose isomerase.
