aB. mallei genome calculation performed using ATCC 23344 genome size. B. pseudomallei calucalation using 1106B genome size. Other genome calculations performed using genome sizes of stated strains.bNo. of PCR positives from n replicates. nt - Not tested.cCT value: PCR cycle number at which fluorescence first detected. Mean of positives only. Variance of mean in paranthesis.dDetection rate defined as at least one agent PCR positive replicate in the Array Card channel.
