Whisker plots of the Candida species descriptive clusters. Whisker plots representing the discriminatory power of the CanTub-simplex PCR were created based on the digitalized melting temperature (Tm) data representing the seven melting clusters (pink cluster_1 for Candida dubliniensis, orange cluster_2 for Candida tropicalis, blue cluster_3 for Candida albicans, green cluster_4 for Candida krusei, yellow cluster_5 for Candida parapsilosis, brown cluster_6 for Candida guilliermondii, red cluster_7 for Candida glabrata) for the discrimination of the Candida species. Melting peaks were subtracted from the analysis of purified the Candida EDTA-WB clinical panel extracts (P1-P3). Tm data of adherent clinical strains of the different species were assembled and data were grouped. Whisker plots were constructed for each data group showing the range of obtained temperatures of melting (Tm); the minimum, the median, and the maximum Tm values with 25th and 75th percentiles
