^aKnown associated K types; serological reaction tested by Brisse et al. (14).

^bKL, K locus; associated cps cluster type.

^cThe KL types confirmed by WGS results are in boldface font, the remaining are based in frequency distribution (KL127).

^dPresence of outliers outside the main cluster (referred to as exception isolates in the manuscript).

^e—, not defined.

^fNew wzi alleles submitted to BIGSdb.

^gAccording to FT-IR results, we can discard the possibility of being KL27.
