448-455The rapid identification of bacteria in biological specimens is important for selection of a suitable antimicrobial therapy. We have designed a rapid (<8 h) diagnostic system that uses universal PCR primers to amplify a variable region of bacterial 16S & 23S ribosomal DNA, followed by reverse hybridization of the products to a panel of oligonucleotides, spotted on nylon membrane macroarray slides. Culture dependent assays were used as reference methods in the development and evaluation of this diagnostic platform. Broad range PCR primers were selected from the published literature to amplify 16S & 23S rDNA segments. Species-specific probe sequences were designed based on sequence alignment of eight different bacteria. These species i...
