a

Distribution of individual genes was analyzed by a Fisher exact test and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Only isolates from dairy foods were considered. Results of poultry food isolate VE14510, stool isolate VE14571 and type strain were not included.

b

Gene was detected only in reference strains V583 and/or MMH594 meaning it was not detected in the type strain, the stool isolate VE14571 and the food isolate VE14510.

c

This difference (P = 0.0574) was close to the significance level.

d

Genes EF1876 and EF1877 were detected in the type strain.

e

Genes PAIEFxxxx correspond to EFxxxx genes in PAI of strain MMH594 (53).
