Abstract excerpt
Two point mutations (A2074C and A2075G) in the 23S rRNA gene of Campylobacter coli and C. jejuni are associated with erythromycin resistance. A real-time fluorescence resonance energy transfer PCR assay using a melting curve analysis was developed to identify these two point mutations and the wild-type genotype in thermophilic Campylobacter species such as C. coli, C. jejuni, and C. lari. Concerning these...
