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

<table>Identification of <i>C. sordellii</i> and <i>C. perfringens</i> in confirmed CTS cases by the microsphere assay. Cases  1–10: <i>C. sordellii</i> cases confirmed by conventional PCR and sequencing. Cases  11–18: <i>C. perfringens</i> cases confirmed by conventional PCR and sequencing. No cross-reactivity was noted. </table>
