METHODS FOR DETECTION OF MICROBIAL NUCLEIC ACIDS IN BODY FLUIDS

Abstract:

Methods for detecting microbial nucleic acids in a body fluid of a subject are provided. The methods include highly sensitive and specific procedures for detecting DNA derived from the bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, e.g., using PCR amplification and qPCR detection, in clinical and/or laboratory samples containing CSF or other biofluids.
