Direct quantitative differentiation between Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens in clinical specimens

1 May 2002

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes a quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assay for the differential identification of Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens in clinical samples, and compares its performance with less discriminatory culture and quantitative immunofluorescence (IF) assays.
