Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC | Source: | DIAGNOSTIC MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE, 85 (2), p. 263-265 | Abstract: | Direct determination by pathogen-specific real-time PCR assay for Bacteroides fragilis was compared to culture in major abscess and diabetic foot infection biopsy samples. Real-time PCR resulted in an increased detection rate of 12% for B. fragilis and could improve the detection of B. fragilis in clinical samples. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
