^aP value comparing the number of individual or prevalent clones of a particular agr group to the number of all clones of this specific agr group. Boldface values indicate statistical significance.

^bCapital letters in parentheses indicate distinct clonal lineages. A number in parentheses indicates the number of different prevalent clonal lineages.
