The presence of homologs of SSRCs in other streptococci.

• This analysis was performed using the nucleotide BLAST tool in the NCBI website (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi). Each genome was blasted against the SSRC sequences (Figure 3).
• The numbers (in %) in the cells indicate the identity between the homologous sequences identified by BLAST. The compared sequence in the BLAST result is indicated in parenthesis as nucleotide numbers in SSRC.
• The blank cells in the table indicate that no homologous sequence of more than 50 nucleotides was found.
• Other streptococci listed below did not show any homologous sequence to SSRCs: S. anginosus F0211, S. australis ATCC 700641, S. caballi DSM 19004, S. canis FSL Z3-227, S. castoreus DSM 17536, S. constellatus subsp. pharyngis SK1060, S. criceti HS-6, S. cristatus ATCC 51100, S. devriesei DSM 19639, S. didelphis DSM 15616, S. downei F0415, S. entericus DSM 14446, S. ferus DSM 20646, S. henryi DSM 19005, S. hyovaginalis DSM 12219, S. ictaluri 707–05, S. infantis, S. iniae 9117, S. macacae NCTC 11558, S. marimammalium DSM 18627, S. massiliensis 4401825, S. merionis DSM 19192, S. minor DSM 17118, S. orisratti DSM 15617, S. ovis DSM 16829, S. peroris ATCC 700780, S. plurextorum DSM 22810, S. porci DSM 23759, S. porcinus str.
