Abstract
Real-time PCR methods with primers and a probe targeting conserved regions
of the bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) revealed a larger amount of rDNA
in blood specimens from healthy individuals than in matched reagent control
s. However, the origins and identities of these blood-associated bacterial
rDNA sequences remain obscure.
