FIG. 1.
Alignment of 117-bp sequences from 17 representative C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis strains. Sequences were derived from 153-bp PCR fragments with the primer sequences excluded. For each species, a number of representative sequences are shown, and the number corresponds to the position on the phylogenetic tree (see Fig. 2). For C. coli, the sequences from isolates C30-8 and C30-22, showing an aberrant LiPA pattern, are shown. The positions of the LiPA probes are boxed. The strains used for sequences are as follows: C. jejuni 1, C31/720 (13); C. jejuni 2, C36/1180 (13); C. jejuni 3, 21 (27); C. jejuni 4, C46/3238 (13); C. jejuni 5, C56/3235 (13); C. coli 1, 27 (27); C. coli 2, C32/1213 (13); C. coli 3, C86/8723 (13); C. lari 1, 6, 16, and 23, 15, 14, 5, and 44, respectively, (27); C. upsaliensis 1, LMG 9127; C. upsaliensis 2, LMG 9128; C. upsaliensis 6, LMG 9227.
