a
Underlined strains are >90% similar by all methods, and italicized and underlined strains are >90% similar by all techniques except flaA typing.
b
Strains showing 87% homology by AFLP analysis due to background in the banding pattern of C2155 but showing more than 90% homology by all other methods.
