*All values are percentage identity + SD. Isolates designated MVT01–07 and MVT07 are isolates from humans in France. Gray shading indicates in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values obtained by using Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator software (http://ggdc.dsmz.de/); darker shading indicates values >70%. Unshaded values are SNP numbers calculated by using SNP identification for strain typing software (23). NA, not applicable because SNP numbers cannot be estimated for distant genomes.
