  1. * P: positive, and **N: negative. No significant difference in the detection of four bacteria in mixed infection was found between bacterial culture and SPR biosensor (P > 0.05). The differences and 95% CI were 3.08% and -3.76%~6.08%, respectively, for P. aeruginosa; 1.54% and -1.46%~1.45%, respectively, for S.aureus; 0% and -3%~3%, respectively, for C. perfringens and 1.54% and -3.74%~4.54%, respectively, for C.tetani.
