Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Determination of bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility is usually performed using phenotypic methods. In this study, we developed a universal 16S rRNA and rpoB quantitative PCR assay for susceptibility testing of bacteria commonly isolated in clinical microbiology laboratories. METHODS: Antibiotic susceptibilities for 24 bacterial strains of various species were tested by real-time quantitative PCR...
