Abstract	Broad-range PCR has become a valuable tool for the identification of microorganisms in the clinical laboratory over the last years. It was primarily used to identify slow-growing and fastidious microorganisms with poor biochemical activity. Nowadays, it is also used to identify microorganisms directly from clinical samples such as blood or punctuates from primarily sterile body sites. In these specimens, the usage of broad-range PCR is challenging regarding contamination and standardization. To overcome these problems, a new test system, the SepsiTest™, was introduced recently employing broad-range PCR for the identification of microorganisms in septic patients. In this chapter, the test system is described and the equipment necessary listed.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 October 2014.

All research outputs

#20,239,689

of 22,766,595 outputs

Outputs from Methods in molecular biology

#9,865

of 13,090 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#295,623

of 352,895 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology

#635

of 996 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,766,595 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 13,090 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,895 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.

We're also able to compare this research output to 996 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
