aAmbiguous single-nucleotide polymorphism calls, with reads supporting a drug sensitive and a drug resistant genotype. These positions were excluded from the calculations for sensitivity and specificity.
bThe large number of false positives for streptomycin using the Coll dataset is due to the presence of the embB E378A mutation, which other publications suggest does not cause ethambutol resistance. This mutation has been previously reported as a phylogenetic marker of lineage 1 of the ancestral MTBC, and this mutation is indeed present in most lineage 1 strains in this collection.
