Pairwise (average) nucleotide sequence similarity percentages as calculated from a p-distance matrix for the16S rRNA gene and concatenated MLSA markers from Providencia bacteria. Values calculated from 16S ribosomal RNA encoding sequences are displayed in the upper right-hand, those from concatenated MLSA marker sequences in the lower left-hand part of the table. Deviations from the mean value found for averaged similarities (not shown) have in no case been superior to 0.1%. Not determined values are marked “n.d.”.
