a
MLST = multi-locus sequence typing; eBURST = Based Upon Related Sequence Types algorithm.
b
CC = clonal complex. All members of a CC share identical alleles at six of the seven loci with at least one other member of the CC. CCNF refers to a CC with no predicted founder genotype.
c
Only the three most common spa types are listed if more than three associated with that sequence type (ST).
d
STs with allelic profiles that share less than six of their seven loci with all other STs in the dataset.
