Enhanced Detection of Bacterial Ocular Pathogens: A Comparative Study of Broad-Range Real-Time PCR and Conventional Culture Methods
10 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: Ocular infections can cause severe complications, including blindness, and distinguishing bacterial from fungal keratitis based on clinical features alone is difficult. This study compared broad-range conventional PCR and real-time PCR methods targeting the 16S rRNA gene with traditional culture for diagnosing bacterial ocular infections. Methods: We analyzed 160 ocular specimens from 111 patients,...
