Molecular epidemiology of the sil streptococcal invasive locus in group A streptococci causing invasive infections in French children.

abstract：:PCR has greatly facilitated pertussis diagnosis due to the speed, sensitivity, and specificity of this assay compared to other detection methods. Various single-target PCR assays are currently utilized, but none is universally considered to be the "gold standard." Our aim was to assess the use of multitarget versus si...
