Ranking of base-specific 16S rDNA fragmentation mass patterns of AAB species according to the number of identical and nonidentical mass peaks compared with the mass spectrum of B. avium

^*Only discriminating mass peaks >1,186 Da are shown. Mass peaks identical to those of B. avium are marked in black. Additional mass peaks are marked in grey.
