Limit of detection analysis for the Ba, Ft and Yp inclusivity panels. (a) Summary of the instrument calls for each sample. Grey boxes indicate positive and white boxes are negative calls for the target organism; a hatched box indicates an instrument call of ‘Bacillus species.’ (b) Test results for individual targets within each test. For the Ba test, all three targets must be present for a Bacillus anthacis call; if less than three targets are identified, the sample is called as ‘Bacillus species.’ For Francisella tularensis and Yersinia pestis, only one of the targets is required for a call of Francisella tularensis or Yersinia pestis.
