For each species (left), probes used are indicated (top). For the pooled probe set, a combination of sat1 sequences from Mrob, Mpm, Wbi, Mrfs were used in one hybridization reaction. Hybridization time is indicated by the number (hyb #) of days probe is incubated at 37°C. The number of antibody detection layers is also indicated. All other conditions are described in the Materials and methods.
