Comparison of PCR assay with bacterial culture for detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae in middle ear fluid of children with acute otitis media.

We have studied etiological diagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM) by comparing a newly developed pneumococcal PCR for Streptococcus pneumoniae to bacterial culture with 180 middle ear fluid (MEF) samples of 125 children with 125 episodes of AOM. For pneumococcal PCR assay, DNA from MEF samples was e...
