Evaluation of inhibitor-resistant real-time PCR methods for diagnostics in clinical and environmental samples.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is commonly used for pathogen detection in clinical and environmental samples. These sample matrices often contain inhibitors of PCR, which is a primary reason for sample processing; however, the purification process is highly inefficient, becoming unacceptable at low...
