Sequence types recoverable in both clinical and non-clinical strains are shown in bold fond. For example, ST10 was recovered in both clinical (diarrheal patients) and non-clinical (swine and water) sources. Sequence types present in two or more sub-groups of the clinical or non-clinical strains are underlined. For example, ST38 was found in diarrheal outpatients and diarrheal children from clinical sources; ST746 was identified from swine and water of non-clinical sources.
