Real-time fluorescence loop mediated isothermal amplification for the detection of Acinetobacter baumannii.

BACKGROUND: Detection of Acinetobacter baumannii has been relying primarily on bacterial culture that often fails to return useful results in time. Although DNA-based assays are more sensitive than bacterial culture in detecting the pathogen, the molecular results are often inconsistent and challeng...
