Distribution of selected virulence factorsa,b,c,d,e,f,g.

agenes and gene clusters grouped into those found in both ST73 and ST95, those characteristic of ST73 strains and those characteristic of ST95 strains.b+, gene or gene cluster present and apparently functional. p, gene on a plasmid. If cell blank that gene or gene cluster is absent unless there is a specific footnote describing the nature of a deletion or other deficiency in that strain.cPTS, phosphotransferase system.dThese fimbrial operons look to be functional in all genomes where present (sfa/foc, auf, yad) Note that sfa and foc are in a shared gene cluster.epapI to papG deleted in clone D. Pap fimbriae appear not to be functional in ABU 83972 [23].fABU 83972 has a deletion in the fim operon [23].ghlyABCD genes deleted in clone D.
