*ST103 identified from 619 human and bovine isolates collected in Brazil during 1978–2021. All ST103 isolates were negative for scpB. All bovine isolates were lactose fermenting, as were 8 human isolates from anovaginal samples. All but 1 isolate belonged to serotype Ia. ENA, European Nucleotide Archive; ST, sequence type. †Human isolates positive for lactose fermentation. ‡Human isolate belonging to serotype II.
