TLDR
The goal of this review is to present the past and the present methods of detection and identification of microorganisms, and to discuss their advantages and their limitations.Abstract:
Fast detection and identification of microorganisms is a challenging and significant feature from industry to medicine. Standard approaches are known to be very time-consuming and labor-intensive (e.g., culture media and biochemical tests). Conversely, screening techniques demand a quick and low-cost grouping of bacterial/fungal isolates and current analysis call for broad reports of microorganisms, involving the application of molecular techniques (e.g., 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing based on polymerase chain reaction). The goal of this review is to present the past and the present methods of detection and identification of microorganisms, and to discuss their advantages and their limitations.read more

Molecular Identification of Bacteria Associated with Bacterial Vaginosis
TL;DR: Bacterium-specific PCR assays showed that several bacteria that had not been previously described were highly prevalent in subjects with bacterial vaginosis but rare in healthy controls, including three bacteria in the Clostridiales order that were highly specific for bacterialvaginosis.
