Abstract
The recent development of gene amplification techniques has considerably expanded the field of investigations at the DNA level in biology. The understanding and epidemiology of infectious diseases will be greatly improved in the coming years by the now possible identification of microorganism-specific sequences in media or conditions not suitable for classical culture or microscopic identification.
