Multilocus allele and 16S rRNA gene sequence designation depicting comparison of <i>S. salivarius</i> strain from meningitis patient to oral carriage isolates recovered from radiology physician assistant and technician.^a

a<p>The 8 housekeeping gene targets <i>glcK</i>, <i>ddlA</i>, <i>pepO</i>, <i>ilvC</i>, <i>thrS</i>, <i>pyrE</i>, <i>dnaE</i>, and <i>sodA</i> refer to the <i>S. salivarius</i>group MLST scheme described in reference 5 and the alleles correspond to the same ones listed in reference 5 except where in bold and italicized. The 7 remaining housekeeping gene targets (<i>rpoB</i>, <i>sodA2</i>, <i>pyk</i>, <i>ppaC</i>, <i>tuf</i>, <i>pfl</i>, <i>map</i>) refer to the viridans streptococcal MLST/speciating scheme available at <a href="http://viridans.emlsa.net/" target="_blank">http://viridans.emlsa.net/</a> (5). All bold/italicized designations correspond to sequences not found in the GenBank that were found in these isolates. GenBank accessions for the sequences corresponding to all of the underlined numbers are supplied in the Methods. The 8 following <i>S. salivarius</i> sequences have been previously documented by other investigators and are listed along with their GenBank accession numbers: <i>rpoB1</i>/GU556187, <i>sodA2-1</i>/AB200166, <i>ppaC1</i>/GU556189, <i>pyk2</i>/CP002888, <i>tuf1</i>/GU556190, <i>tuf2</i>/CP002888, 16S <i>rrnA2</i>/CP002888, and 16S <i>rrnA1</i>/GU175444.</p>b<p><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0032169#s3" target="_blank">Results</a> shared between two isolates from case CSF.</p>c<p><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0032169#s3" target="_blank">Results</a> shared between three carriage isolates (dorsal tongue and saliva).</p>d<p><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0032169#s3" target="_blank">Results</a> shared between two carriage isolates (dorsal tongue and saliva).</p
