a
The amplicon pattern generated from each sample was used to predict the serotype by comparing with the patterns in Table 1.
b
Three isolates produced amplicon patterns that did not correspond with the previously identified amplicon pattern for that serotype (2.7% of all samples tested).
c
NT, not tested.
