  1. aVNTR code of the repeat region of the 5 genes clf A, clf B, sdr C, sdr E, and SIRU21.
  2. bThere are 3, 5, 9, and 4 other clusters on farm A to D, respectively.
  3. c-: not detected on the farm.
  4. For each of the seven dominant clusters (=related MLVA types grouped together), the dominant MLVA type(s) is/are given. Per farm, the dominant cluster(s) is indicated. MLVA clusters containing less than 10 isolates were grouped as "other clusters" (3, 5, 9, and 4 clusters on farm A to D, respectively). Last, the number of isolates belonging to a non-clustered MLVA type is given. In addition, the number of MLVA types belonging to each cluster and the number of isolates per cluster are shown per farm.
