Turtle-associated Salmonella septicaemia and meningitis in a 2-month-old baby.

abstract：:PCR has proved superior to conventional blood culture for diagnosing bacteraemia in the presence of antibiotics. Nevertheless, even PCR might yield false-negative results if the template DNA were to be cleaved by serum DNAases after antibiotics had induced bacterial death. To evaluate the cleavage of bacterial templat...
