Molecular diagnosis of bacterial endocarditis by broad-range PCR amplification and direct sequencing
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Broad-range PCR amplification of part of the 16S rRNA gene followed by single-strand sequencing was applied to samples of 18 resected heart valves from patients with infective endocarditis. The PCR results were compared with those of cultures of valves and with those of previous blood cultures. For two patients there was agreement with the cultures of the valves; for nine patients there was agreement with the...
