Broad-range amplification and sequencing of the rpoB gene: a novel assay for bacterial identification in clinical microbiology
17 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The rpoB gene has been proposed as a promising phylogenetic marker for bacterial identification, providing theoretically improved species-level resolution compared to the 16S rRNA gene for a range of clinically important taxa. However, its utility in diagnostic microbiology has been limited by the lack of broad-range primers allowing for its amplification from most species with a single PCR assay. Here,...
