Analysis of the C. jejuni and C. coli housekeeping genes used to detect nucleotide polymorphisms in the MLST loci of each species characteristic of the other. Black boxes and white text on black highlighting, sequences characteristic of C. jejuni; white boxes and black text with white highlighting, sequences characteristic of C. coli. (A) Diagrammatic output of the STRUCTURE program. The seven MLST loci are represented by seven squares, and four STs are shown. ST-21 and ST-825 are examples of C. jejuni and C. coli, respectively. C. jejuni ST-61 contains an uncA allele characteristic of C. coli. Polymorphisms in C. coli ST-868 which are characteristic of C. jejuni are indicated by vertical black lines. (B) Alignment of the variable nucleotide sites within the MLST loci represented in panel A.
