Diagram depicting the distribution of Bc-associated samples characterized in this study.
From 250 toxic episodes, at least one Bt was isolated in the context of 49 toxic events (i.e. 20%). Based on the genetic relatedness of corresponding isolates, FBOs were classified into 4 clusters (a to d). Nine FBOs were associated the insecticide strain GC-91 within the cluster a, 11 with the insecticide strain ABTS-1857 within the cluster b, 13 with Bt kurstaki SA-12, PB-54 and EG-2348 within the cluster c, and 21 with SA-11 and ABTS-351 within the cluster d.
