Comparison of a Real-Time Multiplex PCR and Sequetyping Assay for Pneumococcal Serotyping.
BACKGROUND:Pneumococcal serotype identification is essential to monitor pneumococcal vaccine effectiveness and serotype replacement. Serotyping by conventional serological methods are costly, labour-intensive, and require significant technical expertise. We compared two different molecular methods t...
