These strains were not isolated; rather, DNA extracts were prepared from infected-blood samples.

Repeat motif copy numbers in bold were determined by sequencing, those in normal text were determined by fragment analysis, and those in underlined bold were determined by both approaches.

The partial 16S rRNA gene sequences have all been previously encountered, and examples of each exist in GenBank with the following accession numbers: A, AF507941; B, AY176589; C, AY281796; D, AY176587; E, AY176588.
