Alterations in the covRS sequence of strains exhibiting capsule thermoregulation.#

#The CovRS sequences of CDC lab isolates were compared to the CovRS sequences of 11 genome-sequenced strains publically available at the NCBI website, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/lproks.cgi.*Nucleotide sequence level; nt, nucleotide.%Protein sequence level; aa, amino acid.aDeletion of a thymine out of 7 consecutive thymines.bDuplication of 11 bps of TCTGCATTTTC.cDeletion of 5 bps of AAAGA out of AAAGAAAAGA.dDuplication of 11 bps of TTTTCTCTGCC.
