Rapid, Simultaneous Detection of Clostridium sordellii and Clostridium perfringens in Archived Tissues by a Novel PCR-Based Microsphere Assay: Diagnostic Implications for Pregnancy-Associated Toxic Shock Syndrome Cases

<table>Identification of C. sordellii and C. perfringens isolates by the microsphere assay. Isolates 1–9: C. sordellii isolates. Isolates 10–18: C. perfringens isolates. Note higher MFI values/signals of C. sordellii and C. perfringens probes for the respective isolates only, indicating specificity of the probes.</table>
