Real‐time PCR of the 16S‐rRNA gene in the diagnosis of neonatal bacteraemia
2 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a real-time PCR assay for the diagnosis of neonatal bacteraemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred ninety-five plasma samples from 288 newborns with suspected neonatal sepsis were collected prospectively for the purpose of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based bacterial detection. A real-time PCR targeting the bacterial gene for 16S-rRNA gene combined with four specific probes designed to...
