  3. 7. Optimization of PCR Sensitivity for Detection of Bacterial Species in Blood of Patients with Suspected Sepsis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sara Yngve; [2015]
    Keywords : Sepsis; PCR; Microbiology; Diagnostics; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Sepsis is commonly caused by bacteria, fungi or both present in the blood stream during inflammation. In response, inflammatory cascades are released in multiple organ systems which if prolonged causes sepsis and can eventually lead to organ failure and death. The major diagnostic technique of sepsis is blood culturing. READ MORE
