Results of inclusivity and exclusivity study of developed mPCR assay for detection of three target bacteria and non-target bacteria.

Bacteria	Total Number of Isolates Tested	Total Number of Positive Results by the Developed mPCR Assay	Inclusivity/Exclusivity (%)
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli	55	55	100
L. monocytogenes	50	50	100
Salmonella spp.	102	102	100
non-target bacteria a	30	30	100

^a Non-target bacteria = non- Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, non- L. monocytogenes and non- Salmonella spp.
