PCR-Based Assay for Discrimination between Invasive and Contaminating Staphylococcus epidermidis Strains

1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

The discrimination between Staphylococcus epidermidis strains that contaminate and infect blood cultures is a daily challenge for clinical laboratories. The results of PCR detection of putative virulence genes were compared for contaminating strains, sepsis-related strains, catheter strains, and saprophytic strains. Multiplex PCR was used to explore the atlE gene, which is involved in initial adherence, the...
