Polymerase chain reaction for screening clinical isolates of corynebacteria for the production of diphtheria toxin.

1 Apr 1994

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To assess the performance of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) when used to screen rapidly large numbers of corynebacteria for toxin production; and to determine the incidence of false positive PCR results with non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates. METHODS: Eighty seven recent British isolates of corynebacteria were assayed by PCR. All isolates were assayed from both blood and tellurite agar...
