Abstract excerpt
Introduction. Molecular techniques are used in the clinical microbiology laboratory to support culture-based diagnosis of infection and are particularly useful for detecting difficult to culture bacteria or following empirical antimicrobial treatment. Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Broad-range 16S rRNA PCR is a valuable tool that detects a wide range of bacterial species. Diagnostic yield is low for some sample types...
