Bands with boldface designations demonstrated significant association with B. quintana endocarditis compared to that with B. quintana bacteremia and B. henselae endocarditis (P < 0.05). The number in each protein band designation represents the apparent molecular mass in kilodaltons.
Proportion of sera recognizing each band. Results equal to zeros are omitted to improve clarity.
NS, not significant.
