Fig. 7From: Development of a genus-specific next generation sequencing approach for sensitive and quantitative determination of the Legionella microbiome in freshwater systemsComparison of the number of L. pneumophila sequence reads retrieved by the pan-bacterial (open circles) and genus-specific (filled circles) NGS approach with the coefficient of variation among triplicates within-sample. Cold drinking water samples [1, 2]; hot drinking water samples [3, 4] and cooling tower water samples [5–7]. A dashed line separates the values of both approaches. Please, note that values are not show for samples where L. pneumophila was not detected in any of the replicates in the pan-bacterial approachBack to article page
