Evaluation of five commercial real-time PCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory tract specimens

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 47, No. 7, Year 2009

The performances of five commercial TaqMan real-time PCR assays for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory tract specimens were evaluated in comparison with an in-house real-time PCR. All kits allowed prompt and specific results, validated by the use of an internal control. The Nanogen kit showed the best clinical sensitivity. Copyright © 2009, American Society for Microbiology.
