a
The presumed ancestral spoligotype pattern of the Af2 clonal complex is shown in bold.
b
International names for these spoligotype patterns were assigned by Mbovis.org (http://www.Mbovis.org).
c
The spoligotype pattern is shown as a series of 43 ones and zeros, corresponding to spacers 1 to 43 in spoligotyping, with 1 representing hybridization to the spacer and 0 representing the absence of hybridization.
