*A total of 22/26 SITs (n = 128) matched a preexisting shared-type in the database, whereas 4/26 SITs (n = 9 isolates) were newly created either within the present study or after a match with an orphan in the database.

A total of 17 SITs containing 128 isolates were clustered within this study (2 to 21 isolates per cluster), while 9 SITs contained a unique strain within this study. Note that SITs in bold indicates “newly created shared-type” (n = 4 containing 9 isolates) due to 2 or more strains belonging to an identical new pattern within this study or after a match with an orphan in the database.

**Lineage designations according to SITVIT2; “Unknown” designates patterns with signatures that do not belong to any of the major clades described in the database.

*** SIT designations are indicated in the table.

ESP = Spain, PER = Peru.

^¥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.
