Comparison of conventional and molecular methods for the detection of bacterial pathogens in sputum samples from cystic fibrosis patients

2000-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The nature of the micro-flora present in sputa of six different cystic fibrosis (CF) patients was assessed using routine microbiological culture and molecular methods. Bacterial genes for the small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssu rDNA) were specifically amplified from DNA extracted from the sputum samples, cloned and characterised by hybridisation and DNA sequencing. A large number of clones from six sputa were screene...
