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.
