Polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in clinical samples.
1 May 1992
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To evaluate the use of a cppB gene derived polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for direct detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in clinical samples. METHODS: A PCR assay was performed on 33 N gonorrhoeae strains and 12 other Neisseria species and other normal genital flora to evaluate the specificity of the chosen cppB primers. The assay was subsequently evaluated with 52 clinical swab samples collected from...
