Fig 2 — Only variably present virulence genes are shown, with all pap and kps variants counted as one; pap: isolates positive for any of the pap operon genes tested, i.e., papAH, papC, papEF, papG (with alleles I, I’, II, III), kps II: isolates positive for any of the kps II variants tested, i.e., kpsMII, K1, K2, K5 and K15. Virulence genes present or absent in all isolates are not shown. Red indicates presence and green indicates absence of gene. “Other” category (virotype column): a virotype could not be assigned. ISS: illness severity score. RL: rapid lethality. Profile (P): Aggregated virulence genes profile.
