*INDEL, insertion/deletion; VNTR, variable number tandem repeat; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.
†GenBank accession no. AM233362.1 (complete genome of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica LVS).
‡There were two 6-bp repeats in the genome sequence of LVS.
§The 2 SNP states are in boldface, an adenosine nucleotide represent a derived state for both markers.
