An Attempt to Improve the Assay Precision of Coxiella Burnetii

Abstract

Limited investigations to determine the cause of assay variability associated with Coxiella burnetii contained in egg slurries showed that the type of slurry used in the assay influenced the amount of variability; moreover, the type of diluent influenced the level of assay response. Additional investigations are required to define those variables that must be controlled to increase assay precision with this organism.
