Clinical Validation of Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assays for Detection of Bacterial Meningitis Pathogens
15 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae are important causes of meningitis and other infections, and rapid, sensitive, and specific laboratory assays are critical for effective public health interventions. Singleplex real-time PCR assays have been developed to detect N. meningitidis ctrA, H. influenzae hpd, and S. pneumoniae lytA and serogroup-specific genes in the cap locus...
