Analysis of the hag/mid Gene in Persistent Strains of Moraxella catarrhalis

Strain (Initial Isolate/ Final Isolate)	Duration of Persistence (Days)	Hag/MID Expression		Sequence Immediately Downstream of Start Codon
Strain (Initial Isolate/ Final Isolate)	Duration of Persistence (Days)	Initial Isolate	Final Isolate	Initial Isolate	Final Isolate
5P47B2/ 5P54B2	260	+	−	6Gs in frame	7Gs out of frame
142P77B1^a/ 142P87B1	296	+	−	6Gs in frame	7Gs out of frame
173P27B1^b/ 173P31B1^b	134	+	−	6Gs in frame	6Gs in frame (downstream in-frame stop codon)
74P50B1/ 74P58B1	253	−	−	1A^c+9Gs out of frame	1A^c + 9Gs out of frame
46P58B1/ 46P73B1^a	435	−	−	1A^c+9Gs out of frame	1A^c + 9Gs out of frame

^aMultilocus sequence type and Hag/MID sequence determined by polymerase chain reaction.

^bGenome sequence determined on Illumina platform. Remaining isolates determined on Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) Sequel platform.

^cAn additional A was present immediately upstream of the polynucleotide G repeat.
