Strain identification begins with a letter (example H2008b) representing the lot origin, followed by the year (example H2008b) of sampling, and ends with an identification letter (example H2008b) to differentiate between strains isolated from the same lot; The strain number represents the strain ability to compete for chicken colonization with strain number 45 being the strain presenting the best out competing potential; Agg = autoagglutination; Chm = chemotaxis; Inv = invasion; Adh = adhesion; Strains underlined and sharing the same superscript were the strains co-inoculated in the chicken colonization competition assay.
