Development and validation of multiplex real-time PCR for simultaneous detection of six bacterial pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infections and antimicrobial resistance... by Dung, TTN, Phat, VV, Vinh, C, Lan, NPH, Phuong, NLN, Ngan, LTQ, Thwaites, G, Thwaites, L, Rabaa, M, Nguyen, ATK, Duy, PT

“…The reproducibility, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) of real-time PCR assays for pathogen detection were evaluated using DNA control mixes and spiked tracheal aspirate. The performance of RT-PCR assays was subsequently compared with the gold standard, conventional culture on 50 tracheal aspirate and sputum specimens of ICU patients.…”
