a Species identification was determined by hsp65 sequencing for 113 isolates that had discordant results by PRA-hsp65 and phenotypic studies. For 17 isolates sequencing confirmed the species identification obtained by phenotypic methods.
b Number of isolates for which the phenotypic identification shown was incorrect.
c Total number of isolates of that species sequenced. SGS: slowly growing scotochromogen; SGN: slowly growing nonchromogen; SGP: slowly growing photochromogen; RGS: rapidly growing scotochromogen; RGN: rapidly growing nonchromogen; RGP: rapidly growing photochromogen.
