TABLE 4.

Concordance of typing techniques using the adjusted Wallace coefficient for nonoutbreak (ABBL) CRAB and outbreak (ABOB) CRAB isolates

Typing methoda Adjusted Wallace coefficient (95% CI)b
PFGE MLST WGSc
PFGE 0.462 (0.228–0.696) 0.136 (0.087–0.186)
MLST 0.122 (0.038–0.205) 0.041 (0.000–0.091)
WGSc 0.882 (0.841–0.923) 1.000 (1.000–1.000)
a

PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; WGS, whole-genome sequencing.

b

CI, confidence interval.

c

Isolates were considered the same type by WGS if there were ≤2 single nucleotide polymorphisms between them.
