Correction: Diagnosis of Bacterial Bloodstream Infections: A 16S Metagenomics Approach
BACKGROUND Bacterial bloodstream infection (bBSI) is one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients and accurate diagnosis is therefore crucial. We here report a 16S metagenomics approach for diagnosing and understanding bBSI. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The proof-of-concept was delivered in 75 children (median age 15 months) with severe febrile illness in Burkina Faso. Stan...
متن کاملWhat is broad-range 16S rDNA PCR?
Patel A, et al. Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed 2017;0:1–4. doi:10.1136/archdischild-2016-312049 INTRODUCTION PCRs have revolutionised the detection of bacteria in clinical samples since their widespread introduction in the 1990s. Quantitative PCR (qPCR), also known as specific PCR, involves the targeting of particular bacterial species. The technique uses specific primers (short strands of nuclei...
متن کاملComparison of 16S rDNA-PCR Amplification and Culture of Cerebrospinal Fluid for Diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis
OBJECTIVE Early and accurate diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is of critical concern. Optimum and rapid laboratory facilities are not routinely available for detecting the etiologic agents of meningitis. The objective of this study was to compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with culture for detection of bacteria in central nervous system (CNS) samples from patients suspected to have ...
متن کاملApplication of 16S rDNA based seminested PCR for diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The diagnosis of bacterial meningitis remains a challenge to the clinician because of its rapid lethal course lacking the consistency to particular clinical signs and symptoms. Moreover, in many clinical settings use of rampant and short course antibiotic therapy prior to lumbar puncture reduces the chance of isolation of bacteria in CSF culture making the diagnosis diff...
متن کاملDroplet Digital PCR
Introduction Genome editing tools including TALENs and the CRISPR/ Cas9 system have revolutionized our ability to edit the genome of any cell, including human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Sequence-specific nucleases induce double-strand breaks or nicks at target sites, activating the DNA repair pathways of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homology-directed repair (HDR). NHEJ pro...
