46 It is ironic that new tests which are likely better for patient care could result in many thousands of additional cases per year if appropriate measures are not taken.

69 From Dr. Jo Williams Core gene alignments (no gaps). Choose a pseudorandom subset (40). Create uncorrected pairwise distance matrix. # diffs / alignment length The Wallace coefficient quantifies the likelihood that an isolate appears in the same cluster by two different methods. Provides directional information (i.e. can detect when one method is more discriminatory than the other). Cluster by furthest neighbor (complete linkage). Compare cluster assignments to all core gene classification via Adjusted Wallace Coefficient. Adjusted version takes into account that the agreement between two methods could be due to chance alone.
