The categories represent the different types of serotype call corrections made in this study. “No database call” indicates there was no serotype call in the original database. “Antigens in disagreement” indicates the number of antigens where disagreement was found between the serotype formulas indicated. The “Preferred database/SeqSero call” indicates there was a change made where one method was clearly preferred over the other, usually by phylogenetic context. In some cases, there is no reason for preference, so the number of calls here is less than the number of changes called above. For these, the percentage listed is for those in which one was preferred.
