*Sequence types are given in the order prn-ptxA-ptxP-tcfA. MASTs, multilocus sequence types; MASTdk, MAST types detected in Denmark during 1949–2010. ND, none detected.
†Genetic diversity index calculated on multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis types. Calculations were done by using the online tool Comparing Partitions (www.comparingpartitions.info). Simpson’s index of diversity (95% CI) was 0.80 (0.76–0.84) for the total period, 0.77 (0.68–0.86) for period 1, 0.76 (0.67–0.85) for period 2, and 0.56 (0.45–0.67) for period 3.
