^bClinical isolates obtained from faeces of infected patients, provided by Dr. D. Martiny (Microbiology Department, Iris-lab, Brussels, Belgium). MLST analysis showed that the isolates belong to different clonal complexes (CC-21, CC-464, CC-21, CC-206, CC-48, CC-45) (D. Martiny, personal communication).
