  1. a Sequence identity (%) of strains as compared to strains 12104, T14V and PK984. FimA 2:1 to 2:3 denotes FimA proteins associated with the type-2 fimbrial subtypes 2:1 to 2:3 with different binding patterns to carbohydrates, red blood cells and bacterial partners [14, 20, 28].
  2. b Genospecies 1 strains were 12104, Pn-22-E, Pn-6-N and P-5-N, and genospecies 2 strains were T14V, P-1-N, P-1-K and LY7.
