Development of a direct PCR assay for detection of the diphtheria toxin gene

1 Jul 1997

Abstract excerpt

PCR has proved to be a reliable tool for the detection of the diphtheria toxin gene, tox, and its use has allowed for the rapid differentiation between toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains. In this study, this PCR was further developed, evaluated, and standardized to detect this gene directly from clinical specimens. Optimal conditions for collection, transport, and storage of the clinical specimens and isolation...
