  1. The PNA Probe (Lac663 and Gar162) efficiencies were tested in triplicate experiments for each strain, with the following hybridization PNA FISH qualitative evaluation: (−) Absence of hybridization; (++) Moderate hybridization; (+++) Good hybridization; (++++) Optimal hybridization. The table shows the median value from the three experiments for each strain.
