johnny, I'm not familiar with this test. What is it done for and what will it show? Hopefully someone else here will know something about it.

Hey Johnny, here's a web site that explains PCR testing:

What kind of PCR test are you looking into? From the web site, it looks like they may be really expensive due to extreme sensitivity. I know that some people have this test done for Lyme Disease.

PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction, check DNA sensitivities against cartain bacteria, virus and fungus.

It is better than other tests but sometimes the same bacteria have several different strains (differentes DNA)
