  • METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF SEPSIS
    Publication number: 20170204452
    Abstract: The invention relates to an in vitro method for the detection and/or identification of a human pathogen and/or genetic material thereof comprising subjecting a sample comprising or suspected of comprising a human pathogen and/or genetic material thereof to a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), wherein said method comprises amplification of PCR products that enable discrimination between bacterial and fungal pathogens, discrimination between gram positive and gram negative bacterial pathogens, and identification of Staphylococcus and/or Candida pathogens if present in said sample. The invention also relates to the oligonucleotides used in said method and a set of oligonucleotides and a kit for carrying out the method.
