Development of Amplified 16S Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis for Identification of <i>Actinomyces</i> Species and Comparison with Pyrolysis-Mass Spectrometry and Conventional Biochemical Tests

Abstract excerpt

Identification of Actinomyces spp. by conventional phenotypic methods is notoriously difficult and unreliable. Recently, the application of chemotaxonomic and molecular methods has clarified the taxonomy of the group and has led to the recognition of several new species. A practical and discriminatory identification method is now needed for routine identification of clinical isolates. Amplified 16S ribosomal DNA...
