Rapid Diagnosis of Bacteremia by Universal Amplification of 23S Ribosomal DNA Followed by Hybridization to an Oligonucleotide Array
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The rapid identification of bacteria in blood cultures and other clinical specimens is important for patient management and antimicrobial therapy. We describe a rapid (<4 h) detection and identification system that uses universal PCR primers to amplify a variable region of bacterial 23S ribosomal DNA, followed by reverse hybridization of the products to a panel of oligonucleotides. This procedure was successful...
