Typing systems are used to discriminate between isolates of Helicobacter pylori for epidemiological and clinical purposes. Discriminatory power and typeability are important performance criteria of typing systems. Discriminatory power refers to the ability to differentiate among unrelated isolates; it is quantitatively expressed by the discriminatory index (DI).
