The TgRO-1LCj strain has been used previously as a reference strain under the name FR-OVI-ARI061 [56, 57, 61, 62]. In these different studies this strain has been misrepresented as having a French origin, which is not the case. We confirm here that this strain was indeed isolated in the framework of this study
