  1. Rankings of the known drug resistance determinants obtained by employing three different methods to score gene gain/loss profiles: support (S), weighted support (WS) and odds ratio (OR). Since some of the gene gain/loss profiles are assigned with the same score, we calculate their rankings as the arithmetic mean of positions of the profiles with the same score on the list sorted according to the scores; thus some of the rankings are not round numbers. The rankings were computed before and after prediction of drug resistance, which is based on the presence of the drug resistance determinants. We excluded the gene ermC from the calculations of the rankings since none of the methods were able to pull it out into the top 100 before prediction.
