Multiplex PCR assay for direct identification of group B streptococcal alpha-protein-like protein genes.

Roberta Creti¹, Francesca Fabretti, Graziella Orefici, Christina von Hunolstein.

Abstract

We developed a group B streptococcus multiplex PCR assay which allows, by direct analysis of the amplicon size, determination of the surface protein antigen genes of alpha-C protein, epsilon protein, Rib, Alp2, Alp3, and Alp4. The multiplex PCR assay offers a rapid and simple method of subtyping Streptococcus agalactiae based on surface protein genes.
