LaboratoryBordetella pertussis+parapertussis+bronchiseptica gidA gene [Presence] in Lower respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Qualitative evaluation of nucleic acids within the gidA gene of Bordetella species (B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica) in lower respiratory specimens by PCR with probe-based detection. This assay detects but does not differentiate between the three species.
