Multiplex Touchdown PCR for Rapid Typing of the Opportunistic Pathogen Propionibacterium acnes
29 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
The opportunistic human pathogen Propionibacterium acnes is composed of a number of distinct phylogroups, designated types IA1, IA2, IB, IC, II, and III, which vary in their production of putative virulence factors, their inflammatory potential, and their biochemical, aggregative, and morphological characteristics. Although multilocus sequence typing (MLST) currently represents the gold standard for unambiguous...
