Development of a 16S rRNA PCR-RFLP Assay for Bartonella Identification: Applicability in the Identification of Species Involved in Human Infections

Abstract We designed a 16S rRNA gene PCR-RFLP scheme to identify all currently described Bartonella spp. The 16S rRNA genes of all Bartonella spp. were in-silico analyzed in order to design a RFLP technique able to discriminate among different species. The restriction enzymes selected were MaeIII, M...
