Comparison of three PCR primer sets for identification of vanB gene carriage in feces and correlation with carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci: interference by vanB-containing anaerobic bacilli.
PMID: 156162782005
Key Findings
The study evaluated PCR primer sets for detecting the vanB gene in fecal samples and found that vanB-containing anaerobic bacilli can cause false positives for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE).
