Abstract excerpt
Forty-four previously characterized strains of Haemophilus influenzae were used to evaluate the specificity of previously published SNP PCR primers for the detection of the N526K substitution in PBP3 of BLNAR isolates using real-time PCR. Hasegawa et al. primers that amplify strains without a substitution at 526 and fail to amplify strains with N526K were 100% sensitive and specific for detecting N526K. However,...
