Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In respiratory infections, human adenoviruses (hAdV) of species B1 and C are frequently detected, but severe or even fatal disease outbreaks are predominantly caused by only few serotypes. The molecular typing of hAdV hexon sequences can help to speed up the discrimination of serotypes, thus improving on-time epidemiological examinations and patient care. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop a molecular...
