“…Cevallos and coworkers (2010) also performed a conventional PCR technique, obtaining a sensitivity value of 75% and one of 92% for specificity, in comparison with the RBPT technique [11]. On developing the PCR technique utilizing whole blood, it was observed that the technique is fast, that its manipulation is facilitated, and that it diminishes the risk of infection; in addition, it allowed for simultaneous identification of the genus and the species due to the use of the multiple-PCR variant, and it provides overwhelming epidemiological reports due to that it identifies the most prevalent species in a determined population.…”
