Bracketed numbers represent % contribution to total samples from each investigated condition.
a
Number of samples and percentage of samples where MPN-PCR Campylobacter concentrations (MPN/L) were not equal to (≠) that of AS/NZS.
b
Number of samples and percentage derived from comparison of samples where MPN-PCR concentrations were greater than (>) those of AS/NZS from the MPN-PCR≠AS/NZS dataset.
