Bootscanning of nucleotide similarity of different fliC alleles, highlighting their mosaic structure. The graphs show examples of the similarity between the consensus sequence being studied (query sequence) and all other consensus sequences (reference sequences) across the entire length of the fliC gene PCR product. The query consensus sequences for each graph were composed of the following alleles: A, fliC27 and -40; (B) fliC4,-15, -16, and -29; and (C), fliC10 and -39. The reference sequences shown were composed of the following alleles: 1, fliC20, -21, -31, -33, -34, and -41; 2, fliC22 and -30; 3, fliC10 and -39; 4, fliC3, -8, -11, -12, -32, -35, and -36; 5, fliC1, -7, -13, -18, -19, and -23; 6, fliC4, -15, -16, and -29; 7, fliC3, -8, -11, -12, -32, -35, and -36; and 8, fliC5.
