  • Title: Simultaneous approach for nonculture PCR-based identification and serogroup prediction of Neisseria meningitidis.
    Author: Taha MK.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2000 Feb; 38(2):855-7. PubMed ID: 10655397.
    Abstract:
    A nonculture PCR-based method to characterize Neisseria meningitidis was used to test 225 clinical specimens. PCR correctly identified and predicted the serogroups of N. meningitidis of culture-proven meningococcal diseases and confirmed this diagnosis in 35% of suspected samples. This approach could be useful when culture fails to isolate N. meningitidis.
