Determining Confidence Intervals When Measuring Genetic Diversity and the Discriminatory Abilities of Typing Methods for Microorganisms

Hajo Grundmann,1,* Satoshi Hori,1 and Gregor Tanner2

Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, University Hospital Nottingham,1 and School of Mathematical Sciences,2 University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2UH, United Kingdom

Received 21 June 2001/Returned for modification 24 July 2001/Accepted 21 August 2001

We describe here a method for determining confidence intervals for a commonly used index of diversity. This approach facilitates the comparison of the genetic population structure of microorganisms isolated from different environments and improves the objective assessment of the discriminatory power of typing techniques.
