Detection and identification of bacteria in clinical samples by 16S rRNA gene sequencing: comparison of two different approaches in clinical practice
9 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Amplification and sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene can be applied to detect and identify bacteria in clinical samples. We examined 75 clinical samples (17 culture-positive, 58 culture-negative) prospectively by two different PCR protocols, amplifying either a single fragment (1343 bp) or two fragments (762/598 bp) of the 16S rRNA gene. The 1343 bp PCR and 762/598 bp PCRs detected and identified the...
