Table 2.

Contingency table for the evaluation of the spore germination method for samples measured at FLY sensitivity level 65

Cultivation time [h]	TP	FP	TN	FN	Total
14	0	1	134	0	135
20	114	2	37	20	173
24	124	1	6	4	135

Shown are the numbers of true positive (TP, germinated spores which were classified as germinated spores), false positive (FP, germinated spores not categorized as germinated), true negative (TN, non-germinated spores categorized as non-germinated) and false negative (FN, non-germinated spores categorized as germinated). Furthermore, the total amount of investigated spores is shown. Samples of three different cultivation times were evaluated
