↵a Also found in the uncloned swab isolate by sequencing of cloned PCR products or variant-specific PCR.
↵b Not detected in the uncloned swab isolate by variant-specific PCR and thus excluded for analysis shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1.
↵c NA, not cloned into plasmid since direct sequencing showed clear, homogeneous sequences.
