Binomial probability distribution of selecting all subtypes present in a mixed sample as a function of isolation protocol. A minimum of 18 colonies would need to be selected in order to recover at least one colony from each subtype in a four-strain mixed sample by non-enrichment isolation (95% probability level). In contrast, 109 colonies would be required to recover at least one colony from each subtype by enrichment.
