** Lineage designations according to SITVIT2 using revised SpolDB4 rules; “Unknown” designates patterns with signatures that do not belong to any of the major lineages described in the database.
*** Clustered strains correspond to a similar spoligotype pattern shared by 2 or more strains “within this study”; as opposed to unique strains harboring a spoligotype pattern that does not match with another strain from this study. Unique strains matching a preexisting pattern in the SITVIT2 database are classified as SITs, whereas in case of no match, they are designated as “orphan” (see Table 1).
