Additional file 16: Dataset S8. of No evidence for a bovine mastitis Escherichia coli pathotype

This file includes virulence-associated genes with significant Fisher’s exact test p-values (and Bonferroni correction), which tested the association of VFs with either pathotype (MAEC or commensal strains). Additionally, the pathotype-enriched virulence-associated genes (MAEC or commensal isolates) with a 70% inclusion and 30% exclusion cutoff and their potential association with phylogroup-enriched categories or soft core genomes are listed. It also specifies the pathotype group soft core VF set and virulence-associated genes classified as underrepresented and unspecific. (XLSX 29 kb)
