The yield of nasopharyngeal bacteria from culture compared to polymerase chain reaction in South African children with lower respiratory tract infection
Background Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years of age. Bacterial pathogens contribute significantly to this process. Culture of respiratory tract specimens is labour-intensive and slow. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is comp...
