Positive results of phenotypic tests.Columns A: human strains, B: animal strains. 1.1. Total number of positive results for hemolysins activity. Black: double-zone β-hemolysis; white: single-zone β-hemolysis. 1.2. Total number of positive results for proteases, nuclease, lipase and urease activity. Black, low activity. Dark grey, moderate activity. Grey, high activity. White, very high activity.

The results of BURP analysis. The 20 spa types were assigned to proper clonal complexes. Eighteen singletons were found among the 53 strains analyzed. Black circles represent the spa types assigned to the proper clonal complexes, and the blue circles represent the ancestor within the clonal complex.
