a
Sample number refers to both partners of a couple, if the complete profiles were successfully sequenced. The exception to this is couple 18, where the male (♂) and female (♀) are indicated. Allele designations are retrieved from the Århus University database. NMT, new MLVA type; NV, VNTR.
b
The C → T transition was found at position 12 in CT1299.
c
The C → T transition was found at position 10 in CT1299.
d
The C → T transition was found at position 11 in CT1299.
e
The sequence type 8.5.2 has previously been described for samples with genovars D, E, and F (19) but not for genovar Ja.
