PCR fingerprinting analysis for differentiation of Streptococcus pneumoniae reinfection versus relapse.

S Hunt Gerardo1, D M Citron, E J Goldstein.   

Abstract

Polymerase chain reaction fingerprint profiles of isolates obtained during an episode of pneumococcal pneumonia with bacteremia differed significantly from profiles of isolates obtained from the same patient during a subsequent episode of pneumococcal meningitis with bacteremia. Polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting provides a means of differentiating new infection from relapse, and may be a simple molecular tool for comparison of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates.
