Effectiveness of 16S ribosomal DNA real-time PCR and sequencing for diagnosing bacterial keratitis
13 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of real-time PCR for 16S ribosomal DNA (16S r-DNA) and sequencing for diagnosing microbial keratitis. METHODS: We studied 272 eyes of 272 patients with keratitis. Eyes with keratitis were classified as "definite" (N = 118), "likely" (N = 71), or "non-bacterial" (N = 83) to have bacterial keratitis. The diagnostic efficacy of real-time PCR and conventional testing was determined...
