Table 2.

Reduced tiamulin and valnemulin susceptibility predicted by genome sequence based on the presence of mutations in chromosomal genes or the presence of tva(A).

Tiamulin Valnemulin
Chromosomal SNPs tva(A) Chromosomal SNPs tva(A)
Sensitivity 77% 95% 68% 100%
Specificity 87% 73% 83% 100%
Positive predictive value 89% 84% 89% 100%
Negative predictive value 72% 92% 56% 100%
True positive 17 21 17 25
True negative 13 11 10 12
False positive 2 4 2 0
False negative 5 1 8 0

Isolate genotypes and susceptibilities described in Table 1. Specificity, sensitivity, and the predictive value of a positive and negative test were calculated using two-by-two table analysis (Mackinnon, 2000) with the following criteria: SNP/tva(A) presence and MIC > ECOFF value were true positive (TP), wild type SNP and MIC ≤ ECOFF value were true negative (TN), SNP/tva(A) presence but MIC ≤ ECOFF value were false positive (FP), and wild type SNP but MIC > ECOFF value were false negative (FN). Values ≥ 80% are indicated in bold font.
