Multiplex PCR for identification of six clinically relevant streptococci.

CONCLUSION: This mPCR can be applied to the rapid identification of pure cultures of these six streptococci. The test was shown to be rapid, simple and reliable for the identification of these streptococci at the species level. This assay should be useful for laboratory identification and surveillance of human infections by these bacterial species.
