A multiplex-PCR (mPCR) assay was designed with species-specific primers which generate amplicons of 226bp, 434bp and 106bp for differentiating the species C. striatum, C. amycolatum, and C. xerosis, respectively. mPCR… Click to show full abstract

A multiplex-PCR (mPCR) assay was designed with species-specific primers which generate amplicons of 226bp, 434bp and 106bp for differentiating the species C. striatum, C. amycolatum, and C. xerosis, respectively. mPCR results were 100% in agreement with identifications achieved by 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequencing and by VITEK-MS.
