Table 3. Comparison of false positive frequency in the Janus- and SJ-mediated negative selection.
Recipient Strain | Donor DNA | Growth (CFU/ml) with selection on | False positive frequency | |||||

Titer below the limit of detection was denoted as one-half the detection limit.
NA: No data was collected for the TIGR4J strain when Su was used in selection because TIGR4J showed no Su sensitivity.
