Abstract excerpt
Invasive meningococcal infections are usually diagnosed by culture. This approach is far from optimal due to, e.g., treatment with precollection antibiotics. Molecular-genetics methods are therefore recognized as important tools for optimal laboratory confirmation of meningococcal infections as well as characterization of meningococci (Mc). The aims of the present study were to develop real-time PCRs for...
