Of those isolates, 1 carrying a resistance-associated mutation (embB M306V) was phenotypically susceptible to EMB; the other isolate, harboring a low-level resistance mutation (eis c-12t), was phenotypically susceptible to KM (Table 5).Biotin-azide Purity & Documentation Overall, the sensitivity, specificity, and concordance of phenotypes predicted by tNGS were 96.two (66.7 to 100.0 ), 99.four (93.8 to one hundred.0 ), and 98.six (93.three to 100.0 ), respectively (Table 5).
