  • Title: Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae directly from respiratory clinical specimens using a rapid real-time polymerase chain reaction assay.
    Author: Diaz MH, Winchell JM.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2012 Jul; 73(3):278-80. PubMed ID: 22541789.
    Abstract:
    We developed a rapid real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for detecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae directly from respiratory specimens. This procedure provides over 5 times faster results compared to existing methods while maintaining equivalent detection rates for specimens containing limited target organisms.
