TABLE 1.
Comparison of VISA and VSSA isolates on six culture medium typesa
| Parameter | BHI0.5 | BHI1.0 | Sheep blood | MH | MH0.5 | MH1.0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total no. of peaks | 213 | 247 | 220 | 237 | 216 | 231 |
| No. of 75CV peaksb | 60 | 59 | 68 | 47 | 59 | 69 |
Spectral data from 12 VISA and 7 VSSA isolates were used to perform stepwise forward multiple regression analysis to identify the peaks that best separated the two groups.
Peaks present in ≥75% of VISA and/or VSSA isolates with a CV of <50% within each group.
