Potential Limitations of the 16S-23S rRNA Intergenic Region for Molecular Detection of Bartonella Species
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
PCR targeting the 16S-23S rRNA gene intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been proposed as a rapid and reliable method for the detection of Bartonella species DNA in clinical samples. Because of variation in ITS sequences among Bartonella species, a single PCR amplification can be used to detect different species within this genus. Therefore, by targeting the ITS region, multiple PCRs or additional...
