A single, multiplex PCR for differentiating all species of Trichinella.
The genus Trichinella is currently divided into seven species and at least three additional, unclassified genotypes, Trichinella T6, T8 and T9, where both T8 and T9 have been deemed very similar to T. britovi. Other than for the non-encapsulated species, the absence of distinguishing morphological characters and the overlapping nature of the biological characters within this genus make these tr...
متن کاملDifferentiating Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Clostridia with a Simple, Multiplex PCR Assay
Diverse members of the genus Clostridium produce botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), which cause a flaccid paralysis known as botulism. While multiple species of clostridia produce BoNTs, the majority of human botulism cases have been attributed to Clostridium botulinum groups I and II. Recent comparative genomic studies have demonstrated the genomic diversity within these BoNT-producing species. Th...
متن کاملMuPlex: multi-objective multiplex PCR assay design
We have developed a web-enabled system called MuPlex that aids researchers in the design of multiplex PCR assays. Multiplex PCR is a key technology for an endless list of applications, including detecting infectious microorganisms, whole-genome sequencing and closure, forensic analysis and for enabling flexible yet low-cost genotyping. However, the design of a multiplex PCR assays is computatio...
متن کاملApplication of a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of gastrointestinal pathogens in a rural African setting
BACKGROUND Despite high morbidity and mortality, the laboratory diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections is largely neglected in tropical African settings. This study aims to apply the Luminex multiplex PCR assay for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal pathogens in rural Ghana to evaluate its usefulness as a routine method. METHODS A case-control study was conducted at the Agogo Presbyterian Ho...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR assay for identification of human diarrheagenic Escherichia coli.
A multiplex PCR assay for the identification of human diarrheagenic Escherichia coli was developed. The targets selected for each category were eae for enteropathogenic E. coli, stx for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, elt and est for enterotoxigenic E. coli, ipaH for enteroinvasive E. coli, and aggR for enteroaggregative E. coli. This assay allowed the categorization of a diarrheagenic E. coli s...
