Fig. 1 Distribution of Ct values for the Giardia lamblia faecal specimens that were positive according to real-time PCR. The Ct value indicates the number of PCR cycles that were required to detect a positive reaction. Closed bars represent the number of faecal specimens for a given Ct range. The dashed bar represents faecal specimens with no detectable amplification signal (Ct 40.00). Ct value groups cover the following ranges: Ct value group 14 represents Ct values from 14.00 to 14.99; Ct value group 15 represents Ct values from 15.00 to 15.99; etc. Clinical Microbiology and Infection 2007 13, 1186-1191DOI: (10.1111/j.1469-0691.2007.01836.x) Copyright © 2007 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions
