The development of a 16S rRNA gene based PCR for the identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae and comparison with four other species specific PCR assays
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most frequently encountered pathogens in humans but its differentiation from closely related but less pathogenic streptococci remains a challenge. METHODS: This report describes a newly-developed PCR assay (Spne-PCR), amplifying a 217 bp product of...
