sodC-based real-time PCR for detection of Neisseria meningitidis.

sodC-based real-time PCR for detection of Neisseria meningitidis.

Real-time PCR (rt-PCR) is a widely used molecular method for detection of Neisseria meningitidis (Nm). Several rt-PCR assays for Nm target the capsule transport gene, ctrA. However, over 16% of meningococcal carriage isolates lack ctrA, rendering this target gene ineffective at identification of thi...
