Table 2 Results of real-time versus conventional PCR assay. A total of 247 follow up samples of animal origin were analyzed by conventional as well as real-time PCR. Numbers of positive and negative results for each PCR assay are shown.
Real-time PCR positive | Real-time PCR negative | total | |
|---|---|---|---|
PCR positive | n = 38 | n = 5 | n = 43 |
PCR negative | n = 32 | n = 172 | n = 204 |
total | n = 70 | n = 177 |
