Development of Real-Time PCR Assays and Evaluation of Their Potential Use for Rapid Detection of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Clinical Blood Specimens
19 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
The early initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy is critical for improving the prognosis of patients with septicemic melioidosis. Thus, the use of a rapid molecular diagnosis may affect the outcome of this disease, which has a high mortality rate. We report the development of two TaqMan real-time PCR assays (designated 8653 and 9438) that detect the presence of two novel genes unique to Burkolderia...
