Allelic profile errors in Table 3 for STs 33 to 40 and ST67

Posted by SylvainBrisse on 31 May 2011 at 07:23 GMT

Please note that the allelic profiles of STs 33 to 40 and ST67 were not entered correctly in Table 3 due to a line shift in the profiles column. The correct profiles for these STs can be found on the MLST web site at www.pasteur.fr/mlst
