Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae by Two Polymerase Chain Reactions and Role of M. pneumoniae in Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Pediatric Patients
1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and viruses in acute respiratory tract infections in children were studied during the winter of 1992-1993 in Antwerp, Belgium. M. pneumoniae was diagnosed in nasopharyngeal aspirates by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For this, amplification of a fragment of the PI adhesin gene in samples prepared by two methods was compared in two laboratories, and in one laboratory, a fragment...
