Figure 2. False negativity and positivity as a function of the number of bulk-PCR products analysed.

Figure 2

(a) Probability to detect bimodality (i.e., super-infection) in the frequency distribution of the number of mismatches per pair of sequences as a function of the number of bulk-PCR products analysed and for subjects for which EPD-PCR revealed a super-infection (n = 6); (b) Probability to detect bimodality in the frequency distribution of the number of mismatches per pair of sequences as a function of the number of bulk-PCR products analysed and for subjects for which EPD-PCR revealed a single infection (n = 4). Shown are median, quartiles, minimum and maximum, of the respective probabilities per subject.
