The matrix table was constructed using cluster analysis and the different bands algorithm of BioNumerics software. Bq, B. quintana; Be, B. elizabethae; Bh, B. henselae. All other isolates listed are B. bacilliformis. A band matching value of 100% indicates comparison of an isolate to itself. Values are the percentages of matched protein bands. Values in boldface represent the B. bacilliformis isolates in Peru that most closely matched the protein fingerprint of Ecuadorian isolate EC-01.
