Table 3.
Summary results on positive proportions and virus titer present in the pooled-swab samples; unless stated otherwise, the results are for samples that are considered RT-PCR positive i.e., those with CT ≤ 35
| Subtype | Pool size | Number RT-PCR positive/Total (% a) | Mean titer for PCR positive samples in EID50/ml | Highest titer in EID50/ml | Number FluDETECT positive (% b) | Mean titer for FluDETECT positive in EID50/ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H5 | 5 | 60/98 (61.2%) | 101.60 | 104.26 | 17 (28.3%) | 102.86 |
| 6 | 53/91 (58.2%) | 102.09 | 104.32 | 18 (34.0%) | 103.46 | |
| 11 | 69/109 (63.3%) | 101.78 | 104.00 | 17 (24.6%) | 102.99 | |
| H7 | 5 | 69/74 (93.2%) | 103.13 | 105.33 | 40 (58.0%) | 103.87 |
| 6 | 78/80 (97.5%) | 103.19 | 105.94 | 43 (55.1%) | 103.92 | |
