In bold are Peruvian strains belonging to this CC345. VP08001, VP11204, VP11206 are Chinese strains with an identical profile and probably carrying the same insertion. Only loci showing different alleles among these strains are displayed in the table. The other loci were dnaE11, dtdS48, pntA26, pyrC48, and tnaA26 for all of them.
