Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Different epidemiological markers were used to characterize 2 Staphylococcus epidermidis and 8 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from patients with severe infections. We compared random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprints, biotypes, antibiotic assays, plasmid profiles and chromosomal DNA restriction endonuclease analysis (REA). Data analysis based on numerical taxonomy methods indicates that RAPD and REA give similar results allowing a good discrimination of the two species and of each isolate. The RAPD method is easier and faster than REA, but the reproducibility of RAPD fingerprints obtained in independent experiments can be problematic. We have found simple technical devices to improve the reproducibility of the RAPD procedure which is therefore a very useful tool in epidemiology for identification and characterization of Staphylococcus spp.
