The Expansion of the Microbiological Spectrum of Brain Abscesses with Use of Multiple 16S Ribosomal DNA Sequencing
31 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Background. Brain abscess is commonly treated using empirically prescribed antibiotics. Thus, a comprehensive study of bacterial organisms associated with brain abscess is essential to define the best empirical treatment for this life-threatening condition. Methods. We prospectively compared cultures to single and multiple sequenced 16S ribosomal DNA polymerase chain reaction amplifications (by cloning and/or...
