RT Journal Article T1 Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction improves conventional microbiological diagnosis in an outbreak of brucellosis due to ingestion of unpasteurized goat cheese.

We analyzed, for the first time, the diagnostic yield of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in a family outbreak of brucellosis due to consumption of unpasteurized goat cheese. PCR correctly identified all symptomatic cases. PB Elsevier YR 2011 FD 2011-11 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/37572 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/37572 LA eng NO Colmenero, J.
