A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay specific forStreptococcus suisbased on the gene encoding the glutamate dehydrogenase
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers that flank a 688-bp segment within the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdh) of Streptococcus suis type 2 could amplify efficiently the DNA of all 306 (100%) clinical S. suis isolates tested (pigs, n=305; human, n=1) encompassing all serotypes obtained from diverse organs, and geographic origins. When DNA from other bacteria were used as templates for amplification, no product...
