Species-specificity of the draPCR in comparison to the Sm1-7PCR and the genusPCR.

Ct-values indicate a strong (Ct<28, highlighted in bold), medium (Ct between 28–38), weak (Ct>38) or no (Ct = 0) recognition of the species. *a 5-fold dilution series on this DNA demonstrated that the weak signal resulted from cross-amplification and not from a-specific background noise.
