Table 2.

Number of spectra, sensitivity, specificity, and number of true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative identifications for the three species.

Species Number of Spectra True Positive True Negative False Positive False Negative Sensitivity Specificity
T. indotineae 905 865 1966 8 40 95.6% 99.6%
T. interdigitale 1476 1198 1252 151 278 81.2% 89.2%
T. mentagrophytes 498 338 2125 256 160 67.9% 89.2%

Regarding the 5212 spectra constituting the outgroup, there was no misidentification as T. indotineae. The only spectra that matched against references belonging to the T. mentagrophytes species complex were 16 spectra of Trichophyton tonsurans that were misidentified as T. interdigitale (n = 11) and T. mentagrophytes (n = 5).
