Gram-typing PCR Results for Uniprobe-positive / Culture-positive Samples
| Sample No. | Culture Results | Uni | Gram-typing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 681 | E. faecium | + | GN |
| 1145 | P. aeruginosa | + | GN |
| 435 | E. cloacae | + | GN |
| 1594 | E. cloacae | + | GN |
| 431 | E. cloacae | + | GN |
| 1279 | K.. pneumoniae | + | GN |
| 1238 | K. pneumoniae | +* | GN |
| 1132 | Pseudomonas and Enterococcus spp. | + | GN |
+ = positive for Uniprobe PCR; GN = Gram-negative; GP = Gram-positive; UA = unavailable; Uni = Uniprobe PCR. PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
*
Uniprobe positive tested with 1:10 dilution.
