Performance verification of pre-PCR and real-time PCR step in the molecular diagnosis of pneumococcal meningitis cases
Isolation and determination of s.pneumoniae by culture and serological methods can be time consuming or indeterminate. Molecular diagnosis by real-time PCR is independent of the growth of the pathogen causing meningitis, and is not diminished with non-viable organisms. The aim of this study was to e...

Isolation and determination of s.pneumoniae by culture and serological methods can be time consuming or indeterminate.
