8 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Bordetella pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory agent and is the causative pathogen of pertussis, which primarily affects children. Current diagnostic techniques for this pathogen have a variety of limitations including a long culture time, low bacterial load, and lack of specificity. METHODS: This article reports the development of a one-tube nested quantitative real-time PCR assay using the...
