‡Associated with decreased susceptibility to azithromycin.
§Associated with decreased susceptibility/resistance to tetracycline.
¶Associated with decreased susceptibility to quinolones.
**Contains an A deletion in the 13 bp inverted repeat region of the mtrR promoter.
††Parentheses indicate number of alleles with this mutation.
‡‡STs not previously identified.
STs, sequence types; WT, wild type.
