aThe dominating spa-CC (founder spa-type indicated in the table) within each group is marked with bold letters
bThe indicated MLST-CC was determined by MLST analysis. The reminders were deducted from the spa-type (Ridom spa server)
cSingletons
d spa-CC not determined
eExcluded from cluster analysis due to less than four repeats
fOthers refer to strains with PFGE-types for which no Superspectrum were present in the database
