FIG. 2.
Reporting of the IAC without and with sample matrix inhibition. (A) Consistent reporting (CT of 19 to 21) of the IAC in the presence of 0.9 × 105 to 9 × 105 CFU/reaction of V. parahaemolyticus targets is demonstrated. (B and C) Shifts and complete inhibition of the IAC, respectively, in some Alaskan oyster samples are shown. The large number of reactions without any shift emphasizes the overall lack of inhibition seen in the Alaskan oyster samples.
