Potential of exocellular carbohydrate antigens of Staphylococcus epidermidis in the serodiagnosis of orthopaedic prosthetic infection.

abstract：:Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causing human infectious disease have become increasingly common. Rapid and accurate identification to the species level is, therefore, critical. The Speed-Oligo Mycobacteria assay is an oligochromatographic method that was made available recently for the identification and differenti...
