Figure 1. Number and genotypes of isolates from members of the family. The hspA and glmM alleles are designated by H and G, respectively. The alleles are numbered according to the cluster to which they belong on the phylogenetic trees (Figure 4). Small letters were assigned to the alleles that belong to the same cluster and differ by point mutations. (n x A; m x C), which shows the number (n or m) of colonies originating from the antrum (A) and the corpus (C), respectively.
