Multiplex PCR Protocol for the Diagnosis of Staphylococcal Infection
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
We report the development of a multiplex PCR protocol for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection. The protocol was designed to (i) detect any staphylococcal species to the exclusion of other bacterial pathogens (based on primers corresponding to Staphylococcus-specific regions of the 16S rRNA genes), (ii) distinguish between S. aureus and the coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) (based on amplification of...
