Some of these organisms may cause progressive infection such as encephalitis and cardiac complications. To recognize the M. pneumoniae , PCR-hybridization technique was used and a specific internal probe was produced for this organism using DNA-recombinant technology. After optimizing the test, technique was evaluated with 106 throat swabs. Obtained results showed 4 amplified specimens by PCR was positive using agarose gel electrophoresis, but thirty was positive by PCR-hybridization.
