In a laboratory in Ulsan, South Korea, scientists have quietly pulled off what might become one of the most important ...

Blood specimens collected from 172 cases of suspected septicemia were cultured and then tested separately by PCR for the bacterial 16S rRNA. Of the 172 clinical cases, 17 cases tested positive by PCR.

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

By writing genetic information directly into the 16S rRNA—a molecule universally found in bacteria—the researchers could track which microbes acquired foreign DNA without disrupting their ...

to amplify a common shared gene in bacteria, 16S rRNA. Twenty-nine percent of bladder biopsies of 22 patients with IC had 16S rRNA, versus none of the 16 controls. Cloning and sequencing of gene ...
