aRAPD, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA; RDP, restriction digest pattern.
bA 3,400-bp insert is also found in other strains from randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) group II (see text and Table 5).
cThis strain appears to be related to the H allele strains described in Table 5.
dNo polymerase chain reaction product was produced from these strains in multiple attempts.
eIn this strain, the insertion sequence IS1381 is upstream from IS1548 in the scpb-lmb locus.
fS1548 in the hylB locus is missing 657 bp from the 3′ end of its open reading frame in this strain.
