^aThe VNTR profiles were defined based on the copy numbers of the respective repeats at the three different loci in each isolate. x represents the copy number of each VNTR; δ represents a 122-bp deletion; § represents a 61-bp deletion in the 5′ upstream sequences of the TR3 alleles.

^bNC, not confirmed.
