Isothermal Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay Applied to the Detection of Group B Streptococci in Vaginal/Anal Samples
24 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Group B streptococcal infections are the leading cause of sepsis and meningitis in newborns. A rapid and reliable method for the detection of this pathogen at the time of delivery is needed for the early treatment of neonates. Isothermal amplification techniques such as recombinase polymerase amplification have advantages relative to PCR in terms of the speed of reaction and simplicity. METHODS: We...
