PLS-DA cross-validated prediction plot based on the LBL SERS spectra of the M. pneumoniae strains. Horizontal red line denotes calculated class prediction threshold level. Predictions for: (A) background sample Ag/PAH/PSS (
); (B) negative control SiMS/PAH/PSS/PAH/Ag/PAH/PSS (
); and M. pneumoniae strains: (C) FH;(
); (D) M129 (
); and; (E) II-3 (
). Fifty spectra, corresponding to 10 spectra in each sample category, are represented in this plot.
