Bold rows represent strains used for a PCR-based validation of in silico identified VNTR allele types (underlined alleles were not found in silico and only identified after PCR amplification); ^a in order to fit requirements of the database, the repeat copy numbers at locus VNTR_Sm1 have been rounded up to receive integer values (e.g., 9 instead of 8.7); ^bwhile the repeat copy numbers at locus VNTR_Sm3 have been rounded up to the next half-value and doubled to receive integer values (e.g., 15 instead of 7.2); ^T: type strain; ^cstrain was only used for validation (no complete genome available)
