  1. *Btb + − presence of binary toxin CDT; **including racoons, wild hare, rabbits, goats, partridges, goose, and crow; ***12 countries participated; tox- -nontoxigenic strain (lacking the PaLoc and genes coding for binary toxin CDT); A “CE” prefix, eg. (CE)039, indicates that the PCR ribotype assigment was made in reference laboratory (CDRN Leeds) using the newer capillary electrophoresis-based approach. PCR-ribotypes in the table are ordered according to the number of countries in which the strains were found and then according to the number of strains belonging to that ribotype.
