AF1_110, AF3_18	Type II restriction enzyme
AF1_210, AF3_363	Type II restriction enzyme
AF1_231, PL5_326	Vmp
AF1_511-AF1_517, AF3_358-AF3_364	Hypothetical proteins	Not present in PL5
AF1_23, AF3_18, PL5_476	Alanine racemase	amniotic fluid/placental isolate gene A (alr)^*
AF1_212, AF3_405, PL5_34	Hypothetical protein from U. urealyticum (low similarity).	amniotic fluid/placental isolate gene B (goiB)^*
AF1_518, AF3_365, PL5_284	Hypothetical protein	amniotic fluid/placental isolate gene C (goiC)^*
AF1_135, AF3_121, PL5_112, MHO_1580	Hypothetical protein	Present in PG21 but truncated due to nonsense mutation
AF1_330, AF3_184, PL5_343	Cation-transporting ATPase, E1-E2 family	Present in PG21 but truncated due to nonsense mutation (not annotated)
AF1_401, AF3_251, PL5_156, MHO_4360	ABC transporter ATP- binding protein	Present in PG21 but truncated due to nonsense mutation
AF1_248 AF3_442 PL5_555	Hypothetical protein	Present in PG21 but truncated due to nonsense mutation (not annotated)

The strains harboring the gene are listed. Amino acid and nucleotide sequences corresponding to the gene identifiers can be found through NCBI (Accession numbers CP009677, JRWZ00000000, and JRXA00000000).

The presence of these genes in vaginal swab samples and amniotic fluid samples was determined in this study.
