a

See Table S1 for MLVA data and source information.

b

XbaI profile in PulseNet database (last checked Dec, 2006) matching designated strain. XbaI patterns EXHX01.3535, EXHX01.3536, EXHX01.3537 were new to the PulseNet database at the time of submission.

c

Frequency of this XbaI profile in PulseNet database.

d

BlnI profile in PulseNet database (last checked Dec, 2006) matching designated strain. BlnI patterns EXHA26.1395, EXHA26.1411, EXHA26.1412 are new to the PulseNet database.

e

Clusters of illnesses identified from PFGE profiles submitted to PulseNet as XbaI profile, or both XbaI and BlnI profiles. Designation is by state (2 letter abbreviation):month-2 digit year; Multi, multiple states.

f

RM5038 and RM5037 were isolated from the same sample of feces; MLVAs 15 and 16 differ by one TR only in locus 4.

g

XbaI-BlnI profile EXHX01.0047-EXHA26.0015 represents>6% of the PulseNet database (see Table 2).

h

One band difference between the profile for this strain and the BlnI PulseNet profile designated.

I

Major MLVA type for human clinical strains associated with the spinach outbreak.
