a

Log (score) value of 2.00 to 3.00, high-confidence identification; log (score) value of 1.70 to1.99, low-confidence identification; log (score) value of <1.70, no organism identification possible.

b

No member of the SIG was included in the clinically validated Vitek MS IVD Knowledge Base v2.0 database; however, S. intermedius and S. pseudintermedius were included as non-clinically validated species in the IVD Knowledge Base v2.0 database.

c

Confidence value of 60.0 to 99.9%, high-confidence identification (one significant organism or organism group identification returned); confidence value of <60%, low-discrimination identification. Low discrimination identifications are displayed when more than one, but not more than four, organism or organism group identifications are returned.
