Table 2.

Validation of RT-qPCR assay parameters for primers targeting aiiO, gyrB, rho and rpoD.

Parametera aiiO b gyrB rho rpoD
Efficiency (%) 94.9 95.9 93.5 89
R2 0.999 1 1 0.999
Slope −3.451 −3.425 −3.487 −3.618

aEfficiency – calculated primer efficiency; R2 – correlation between log Cq and Cq in the standard curve; Slope – slope of the standard curve.

bPrimers used for PCR amplification: aiiO: F_aiiO_OP7/R_aiiO_OP7; gyrB: F_ gyrB_OP7/R_ gyrB_OP7; rho: F_ rho_OP7/R_ rho_OP7 (Table S1).
