16S rRNA gene-based identification of bacteria in postoperative endophthalmitis by PCR- Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) fingerprintingDOI: 10.1590/S1517-83822012000100033 Keywords: endophthalmitis, staphylococcus epidermidis, pcr, dgge. Abstract: conventional microbiological culture techniques are frequently insufficient to confirm endophthalmitis clinical cases which could require urgent medical attention because it could lead to permanent vision loss. we are proposing pcr-dgge and 16s rrna gene libraries as an alternative to improve the detection and identification rate of bacterial species from endophthalmitis cases.
