Molecular Identification of Adenoviruses in Clinical Samples by Analyzing a Partial Hexon Genomic Region
1 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Here we present a system for adenovirus detection and genotyping based on PCR amplification and phylogenetic analysis of a conserved hexon gene fragment. The system was validated using 157 sequences (86 previously typed and 71 clinical samples) and correctly identified species and serotype in 100% and 84% of sequences, respectively. Known associations between specific serotypes and clinical syndromes are...
