aDistribution of sequences: blaTEM-1 without exception.

bDistribution of sequences: blaTEM-1 without exception.

cDistribution of sequences: blaTEM-1 in 14 instances, not resolved due to different types with identical matching in 1 instance.

dDistribution of sequences: blaSHV-12, blaSHV-1/blaSHV-28 (no further sequence discrimination possible), and blaSHV-33 in one instance each, insufficient discriminatory power in additional 3 instances.

eDistribution of sequences: blaSHV-1/blaSHV-1a (no further sequence discrimination possible), blaSHV-11, and blaSHV-33 in one instance each, insufficient discriminatory power in another instance

fDistribution of sequences: blaSHV-1 in two instances, blaSHV-12/blaSHV-5 (no further sequence discrimination possible) and blaSHV-121/blaSHV-136 (no further sequence discrimination possible) in one instance each, insufficient discriminatory power in another instance.
