One-Step Multiplex PCR Assay for Differentiating Proposed New Species "Clostridium neonatale" from Closely Related Species.

ABSTRACT: "Clostridium neonatale" sp. nov., previously involved in an outbreak of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, was recently proposed as a new species of the Clostridium genus sensu stricto. We developed a one-step multiplex colony PCR for C. neonatale identification and investigated C. neonatale intestinal colonization frequency in healthy preterm neonates.
