Real-time PCR was evaluated as a quantitative diagnostic method for Chlamydia pneumoniae infection using different respiratory samples. Real-time PCR had efficiency equal to or better than that of nested touchdown PCR. This study confirmed sputum as the best sampling material to detect an ongoing C. pneumoniae infection.
使用不同的呼吸道样本对实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(Real-time PCR)作为肺炎衣原体感染的定量诊断方法进行了评估。实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应的效率等同于或优于巢式降落聚合酶链反应。本研究证实痰液是检测正在进行的肺炎衣原体感染的最佳采样材料。
