Typographical error for tcdB TaqMan PCR single probe assay reverse primer

Posted by nstone on 03 Mar 2017 at 20:20 GMT

The authors have discovered a typographical error in the description of the tcdB TaqMan PCR single probe detection assay. The ToxB-TaqManR primer is published as (5′- CTAGCTTATGGTCATTTGACGATGC-3′). This primer sequence should read (5′- CTCTCTCTGAACTTCTTGCTAATGAAGAT-3′). We apologize for this typographical error.
