*GGI, genomic group I; GGII, genomic group II.
†Nucleotide sequences for 16S rRNA, flaB, gyrB, and glpQ for isolates not included previously (4) have been deposited in the GenBank database with accession nos. DQ855527 to DQ855544.
‡The number of samples varies because only the IGS sequence was determined for DOU and only IGS, flaB and glpQ sequences were determined for isolate ELD.
§IGS with 3 indels of 1, 13, and 13 bp; glpQ with 1 indel of 6 bp.
¶π, mean nucleotide diversity at each aligned position.
