Sequencing of Staphylococcus epidermidis even and staggered mock communities. Data represent results of the amplicon sequencing of technical triplicates consisting of even mock communities comprised of 10,000 copies of S. epidermidis ST2, ST5, ST14, ST87, ST215, and ST218, and staggered mock communities with 10,000 copies of ST215 and ST87, 1000 copies of ST5 and ST14 and 100 copies of ST2 and ST218. The data is shown as relative abundance per sample. Category ‘Other’ includes clonal groups detected, but not expected in the mock samples
