a
ID, identifier; NK, date of isolation not known.
b
The total number of core gene clusters (LS-BSR ≥ 0.8) in all EPEC isolates.
c
The numbers of gene clusters with significant similarity (LS-BSR ≥ 0.8) in all genomes of one phylogroup that were divergent (LS-BSR < 0.8, ≥ 0.4) or absent (LS-BSR < 0.4) from genomes of other phylogroups were 44 (phylogroup A), 62 (phylogroup B1), and 128 (phylogroup B2).
d
The isolate-specific genes are those identified in one genome with an LS-BSR ≥ 0.8 and in the other genomes with an LS-BSR < 0.4.
