Comparative data of nucleotide sequence analysis (NSA) versus MLEEa
| Locus | No. alleles determined by:
|
Allelic diversity (δ) (NSA)c | Genetic diversity (h) (MLEE)d | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NSA | MLEE | |||
| Aspartate dehydrogenase | 3 | 2 | 0.2882 | 0.0714 |
| Lysine decarboxylaseb | 4 | 0.2946 | ||
| Erythrose-4-phosphate dehydrogenaseb | 3 | 0.2387 | ||
| Isocitrate dehydrogenase | 3 | 4 | 0.2387 | 0.3228 |
| Leucine aminopeptidase | 3 | 6 | 0.2882 | 0.7646 |
| Malate dehydrogenase | 3 | 3 | 0.2387 | 0.4048 |
a
MLEE data were obtained by Farfán et al. (11) and took into account only the 31 V. cholerae strains analyzed in the present study.
b
These two loci were not analyzed by MLEE.
c
The mean allelic diversity (Δ) is the arithmetic mean of δj for the m loci: Δ = 0.2645 ± 0.0284.
d
The mean genetic diversity (H) is the arithmetic mean of hj for the m loci: H = 0.3909 ± 0.2867.
