Table 1 Five DNA extraction methods used on pure C. pneumoniae DNA and aorta tissue samples spiked with C. pneumoniae DNA For each sample type different DNA input concentrations were used, these are displayed in the first column. DNA input concentration was known as pure genomic C. pneumoniae DNA was used for preparation of samples. For each method and sample the mean output C. pneumoniae genomic DNA concentration and standard deviation (SD) is displayed for two replicates as determined with the quantitative pmp4 LightCycler PCR. In addition percentage of recovered DNA is calculated (% Rec.). Standard deviations (SD) are also shown for the recovery percentages.
