Table 1 Detailed results of molecular pathogen identification

From: First report of Sneathia sanguinegens together with Mycoplasma hominis in postpartum prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: a case report

  1. Table shows detailed results, including sample delivery dates to the laboratory. Reported results were based on routine testing of V8-V9 region and amplification of the whole 16S rRNA gene. These results are marked with a grey background. Routine examination showed either negative results or presence of S. sanguinegens in tested samples. Just in one reaction, M. hominis was co-detected by RipSeq Mixed (V8-V9, surgical material I) and so additional, non-routine testing has been supplemented (white background). As discovered later, the false negativity for M. hominis was caused by incomplete annealing of common V8-V9 region and whole 16S rRNA reverse primer
