Detection of Balamuthia mandrillaris DNA by real-time PCR targeting the RNase P gene
BACKGROUND: The free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris may cause fatal encephalitis both in immunocompromised and in – apparently – immunocompetent humans and other mammalian species. Rapid, specific, sensitive, and reliable detection requiring little pathogen-specific expertise is an absolute p...
