The designations L, B, and M mean that the strain was originally taken from plates containing LB agar, blood agar, and MacConkey agar + lactose, respectively.
ID, identification.
This strain had P. rettgeri as the next most likely identification, with a similarity index of >0.750.
Possible identifications were narrowed to these two bacteria because OF013M is nonmotile.
