Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for analyzing the presence of a bacterial pathogen in a clinical sample comprising the steps of (i) at least partially isolating nucleic acid from said sample, characterized in that said nucleic acid is selected from a group consisting of either total nucleic acid, total DNA or total RNA, (ii) quantifying the amount of nucleic acid comprising a preselected sequence which is specific for said bacterial pathogen, and (iii) determining whether said amount of nucleic acid comprising a preselected sequence which is specific for said bacterial pathogen exceeds a first predetermined cut off value.
