Culture-Negative Endocarditis Diagnosed Using 16S DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction
16S DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular amplification technique that can be used to identify bacterial pathogens in culture-negative endocarditis. Bacterial DNA can be isolated from surgically excised valve tissue or from blood collected in EDTA vials. Use of this technique is particu...
