a
The strains are grouped according to sequence identities. BT7853, group II, contains CTn7853. The other two strains in group II also hybridized to the CTn7853-specific probe.
b
The sequences of the 442-bp Bacteroides ermG PCR products were compared to the sequence of ermG from Bacillus sphaericus (accession no. M15332). The G602-to-T602 difference shared by all of the Bacteroides sequences is indicated by boldface.
