Piot biotype, sialidase gene presence, and ARDRA characterization of G. vaginalis isolates (representatives of study isolates with unique cpn60 sequences) and published whole genome sequences.

1L = Lipase, B = β-galactosidase, H = Hippurate hydrolase, ND = not done.2Study isolates N156 (subgroup B) and N164 (subgroup C) were not included in the biotyping analysis since they were not reliably cultured as pure isolates after revival from frozen stocks following their original isolation and cpn60-based characterization.3In cases where no isolates were available to us for culture, ARDRA genotypes for some strains (41V, ATCC 14019, 101, AMD, 409-05, and 5-1) were obtained by in silico analysis as described in the text.
