Comparison of Two Real-Time PCR Assays Targeting Ribosomal Sequences for the Identification of <i>Cystoisospora belli</i> in Human Stool Samples

Comparison of Two Real-Time PCR Assays Targeting Ribosomal Sequences for the Identification of <i>Cystoisospora belli</i> in Human Stool Samples

<i>Cystoisospora (C.) belli</i> is a coccidian parasite associated with acute or chronic gastroenteritis in immunocompromised patients. Dissatisfactory sensitivity of microscopy as the diagnostic standard approach has been described. Here, we comparatively evaluated two real-time PCRs ta...
