Timely identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections can lead to a decrease in mortality rates. Differentiation of S. pneumoniae from other similar species using traditional culture-based and molecular methods is problematic. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of identifying the blpA and lytA for the detection of S. pneumoniae from isolates and various clinical samples using molecular methods.
