Interassay reproducibility of PCR-based typing methods
Strain | Mean correlation coefficients ± SDa
|
|
---|---|---|
AP-PCR (n = 4) | AFLP (n = 3) | |
M1 | 80.8% ± 4.5% | 90.6% ± 1.0% |
ATCC 33152 | 69.2% ± 13.6% | 91.3% ± 5.4% |
RIVM 83-147 | 75.5% ± 12.3% | 94.7% ± 1.3% |
M31 | 81.2% ± 10.3% | 90.6% ± 5.0% |
Average similarities were expressed in percentages as the means of Pearson correlation coefficients obtained by typing the same strain in n independent experiments.
