Specificity and sensitivity of the newly developed PCR assay using the conventional antibiotic susceptibility test

PCR assay Conventional antibiotic susceptibility test Total
Resistant Sensitive
Resistant 21 0 21
Sensitive 0 240 240
Total 21 240 261

Sensitivity = 21/(0 + 21) × 100 = 100%

Specificity = 240/(0 + 240) × 100 = 100%

Positive predictive value = 21/(0 + 21) × 100 = 100%

Negative predictive value = 240/(0 + 236) × 100 = 100%
