  1. *In a total 383 isolates, three (two mutant isolates from genotype D and one from E) lacked both CpG island I and III, which were excluded from the distribution analysis.
  2. **Of the remaining 380 isolates, two normal isolates of genotype F contained both two-conventional islands and novel island V, which were used twice for calculating the rates.
