a
All information in this table is based on V. vulnificus strain YJ016, except that for locus VV1-1615, which is based on strain CMCP6. *, tested for stability.
b
This locus was studied previously (44).
c
Subscript numbers are numbers of repeats of the motifs.
d
This locus included a null allele (yielding no amplification product) as one of the alleles (see the text).
