Correct Identification of From Blood Culture Using : A First Case Report in an Immunocompromised Patient in Mexico.

The present report describes the misidentification of spp. from a positive blood culture using traditional microbiology tests. A molecular test identified the bacterium as .

Cultivation-independent approach for the direct detection of bacteria in human clinical specimens as a tool for analysing culture-negative samples: a prospective study.

Administration of empirical antibiotic therapy prior to microbiological diagnosis is thought to be associated the failure of subsequent bacterial growth in culture. The aim of this study was to detect bacterial pathogens via direct amplification and sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene in samples showing negative culture results as alternative diagnostic tools to troubleshoot difficult samples.
