Development and application of PNA probes for the detection of specific bacteria by FISH
The gold standard for microbial detection, in clinical settings or in biofilm studies, is the culture method, which is time-consuming, technical demanding and can give inaccurate results. These limitations have driven scientist to the development of new molecular techniques such as fluorescence in …
