Evaluation of a Novel Aspergillus Antigen Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.

abstract：:Adhesin-encoding operons (pap, sfa/foc, and afa) have been shown to be prevalent in Escherichia coli strains associated with urinary tract infections. A quick and sensitive assay to identify these operons was developed by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Three pairs of 25-mer primers were defined from the se...
