Detection of bacterial DNA by in situ hybridization in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis

Abstract Background Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is often difficult to diagnose because bacteria in ascites cannot be detected accurately by conventional culture. In situ hybridization (ISH) was previously developed for rapid detection of genes from bacteria phagocytized by neutrophils. S...
