*Genetic diversity was calculated as Simpson index of diversity for each period. The genetic diversity index was calculated for MLVA types by using the online tool Comparing Partitions (www.comparingpartitions.info). Simpson index of diversity (95% CI) was 0.74 (0.69–0.79) for the total period, 0.84 (0.75–0.92) for period 1, 0.71 (0.57–0.85) for period 2, and 0.57 (0.48–0.65) for period 3. MLVA, multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis; MT, MLVA type; ND, none detected.
†MTs found in 1–3 isolates.
‡New MTs detected in this study.
