  1. aThis strain number corresponds to the order in which strains are listed in Figure 4c (microarray) from left to right. bReferences for each strain are listed in the report by Wolfgang and coworkers [9]. cIdentical rank orders are shown for two or more strains with indistinguishable virulence. dStrain CF27 is not included in Figure 4a; its relative order is inferred based on other experiments. CF, cystic fibrosis; UTI, urinary tract infection.
