Of each MLVA type the VNTR‐code, ERIC genotype and prevalence in our dataset is given. Seventeen MLVA types belonged to ERIC type I strains, four belong to ERIC type II. ERIC type III and IV were represented by only one MLVA type. Most MLVA types show a very low prevalence, only three types have a prevalence higher than 10%.
