Table 2. Pairwise comparisons of isolates per food group in the diversity of clonal complexesa.
Food Group: Shannon’s index | Produce | Seafood | Combination foods | Meat | Dairy |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Produce: 2.32 | p = 0.90 | p = 0.20 | p = 0.03 | p = 0.22 | |
Seafood: 2.14 | p = 0.90 | p = 0.83 | p = 0.08 | p = 0.05 | |
Combination foods: 1.98 | p = 0.20 | p = 0.83 | p = 0.27 | p = 0.69 | |
Meat: 1.58 | p = 0.03 | p = 0.08 | p = 0.27 | p = 0.87 | |
Dairy: 1.49 | p = 0.22 | p = 0.05 | p = 0.69 | p = 0.87 |
a Diversity of clonal complexes within a food group is represented by Shannon’s index. Pairwise comparison between two food groups is made by using Shannon’s index with Bonferroni correction, where p≤0.005 indicates a significant difference. No significant differences were found.
