Abstract excerpt
Using the shell vial assay and sequence analysis of a variable region of the glycoprotein B (gB) gene, cytomegalovirus (CMV) excretion rates in urine and virus transmission were studied among 93 children from six day care centers (DCCs). During a 6-month period, excretion rates differed significantly between DCCs (P < .001). The 6 gB gene sequences, obtained from 24 CMV-infected children, were classified in four...
