Thresholds varied by serotype, 5–16 allelic distances and 15–20 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, showing limits of a single-threshold approach. We confirmed validity of HC5 screening for 3 serotypes because statistical thresholds had limited effect on isolate clustering (high sensitivity and specificity). For O80:H2, results suggest that HC5 is less reliable, and other approaches should be explored.
