Development of a dry-reagent mix-based polymerase chain reaction as a novel tool for the identification of Acinetobacter species and its comparison with conventional polymerase chain reaction

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria and the incidence is increasing. Acinetobacter, a Gram-negative bacillus, is commonly associated with the use of intravascular catheterization and airway intubation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for identification...
