FIG. 1 The good correlation between the cycle threshold (CT) number in the quantitative PCR and the amount of the Beijing plasmid (left) or non-Beijing plasmid (right). Each data point and error bar represent the average and 95% CI of the CT numbers when corresponding copies of one plasmid were mixed with seven different copies (5, 50, 500, 5000, 50 000, 500 000, or 5 000 000) of the other plasmid.
