Host-associated Genetic Import in Campylobacter jejuni
Table 3
Capacity of alleles, overall sequence type, and clonal complex information to predict host species for Campylobacter jejuni isolates from cattle, sheep, and chickens
Genotype information used | % correct | % uncertainty removed* |
---|---|---|
Alleles | 58 | 37 |
Sequence type | 40 | 10 |
Clonal complex (1)† | 42 | 13 |
Clonal complex (2)† | 42 | 13 |
Alleles plus sequence type | 60 | 40 |
Alleles plus clonal complex† | 58 | 37 |
*Random selection would be expected to predict correctly 33% of the time. The proportion of the remaining uncertainty (67%) that is resolved is shown.
†Clonal complex (1) substituted sequence type for clonal complex in which no clonal complex is assigned and clonal complex (2) substituted a missing value code. Clonal complex (1) was also used to assess alleles plus clonal complex.
