Is the Unyvero i60 ITI multiplex PCR system a promising test in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from heart valves?

摘要

The aim of this study was to evaluate the new commercial Unyvero i60 ITI multiplex PCR system (Curetis, Holzgerlingen, Germany) on native cardiac valves in comparison with made in-house 16S rRNA PCR amplification (91E/13BS primers) and conventional microbiological techniques.
