Figure 1. Workflow of our ITS HRM assay.

Figure 1

The ITS HRM assay is performed on DNA extracted from clinical samples such as positive blood culture samples. Our novel classification algorithm allows generated melt curves to identify the bacterial pathogens by matching against a reference database. Same-colored dots represent replicates from the same species classified within their boundaries and black dots outside all boundaries represent replicates from species that is not in our reference database, whereas the unknown species in the test sample (X) is identified by the classification algorithm.
