Abstract

Molecular biological methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enable microbiologists to detect bacteria even if antibiotic treatment has already been started. Based on this case report of a 39-year-old man with multiple intracerebral lesions, we describe a PCR method called 16S rDNA-PCR which can be used to identify panbacterial DNA by focussing on the universal gene sequences for the bacterial 16S part of the ribosome.
