From: Identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by a real-time PCR assay targeting SP2020

CT values obtained for 150 S. pneumoniae tested by real-time PCR for the presence of lytA, piaB and SP2020. Six NT strains (blue circles) and one 6B strain (red circle) had no amplification for piaB. Three NT strains (green circles) yielded CT values for piaB far higher than those obtained for lytA and SP2020.
