Genome differences specific for the FB genome (comprising 630 nucleotides) in both non-coding (intergenic regions, IGR) and coding regions when compared to TPE strains (Samoa D, CDC-2, Gauthier).

The tprK gene was excluded from this list of changes because of high sequence diversity within TPE strains.
