1 Due to the smaller sample size of enteritis-control strains assayed using the newer version of our microarray, 8 enteritis-control strains from unrelated strain collections were randomly selected and included in this group.
2 p-value based on 2-tailed Fisher's Exact Test
3 Proposed function obtained from [48]
4 Gene from strain ATCC 43431 (HS:3 type strain)
5 Gene from strain ATCC 43446 (HS:19 type strain)
