TABLE 4.
Number of isolates in panel 2 belonging to each lineage according to the macroarray and concordance with MIRU-VNTR results
| Lineage defined by macroarray | No. of isolates | Defined MIRU-VNTR loci-repeat no.a | Comparison of macroarray with MIRU-VNTR

a
Combination of MIRU-VNTR (with repeat number at each locus) producing the most unambiguous definition of each lineage. Numbers stand for MIRU (e.g., 39-3 indicates 3 copies of MIRU-39); letters stand for ETR (e.g., A-4 indicates 4 copies of ETR-A).
b
Expressed as the number of isolates with concordant results/total number of isolates (percent).
