Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in latently infected lungs by immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy.

abstract：:As well as conventional methods such as immunodiffusion, ELISA, or agglutination for the detection of toxin production in Staphylococcus aureus, amplification techniques like PCR allow a very sensitive and specific identification of the genes responsible for enterotoxin B and C, and TSST-1 production. These toxins mig...
