Feasibility of a quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay for diagnosing pneumococcal pneumonia using oropharyngeal swabs
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most important pathogen causing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The current diagnostic microbial standard detects S. pneumoniae in less than 30% of CAP cases. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting autolysin (lytA) is able to increase the rate of...
