Application of quantitative real-time PCR for rapid identification of Bacteroides fragilis group and related organisms in human wound samples
J Tong, C Liu, P Summanen, H Xu, SM Finegold - Anaerobe, 2011 - Elsevier
Our goal was to establish a quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) method to detect
Bacteroides fragilis group and related organisms from clinical specimens. Compared to
conventional anaerobic culture, QRT-PCR can provide accurate and more rapid detection
and identification of B. fragilis group and similar species. B. fragilis group and related
organisms are the most frequently isolated anaerobic pathogens from clinical samples.
However, culture and phenotypic identification is quite time-consuming. We designed …
