Hi everybody,
we are trying to detect small numbers of bacteria in blood samples. After
having tried a number of methods described in the literature we are not quite
happy with the sensitivity. The number of bacteria is far too small to just
spin them put and DNA extraction doesn't feel like the way to go either for
the same reason. We have tried various membraneswithout success.
Does anyone have experience with this problem? Any help or suggestions are
greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Antje
