A quantitative PCR (TaqMan) assay for pathogenic Leptospira spp
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease. The differential diagnosis of leptospirosis is difficult due to the varied and often "flu like" symptoms which may result in a missed or delayed diagnosis. There are over 230 known serovars in the genus Leptospira. Confirmatory serological diagnosis of leptospirosis is usually made using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) which r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a serum-based Taqman real-time PCR assay for diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.
We compared an Aspergillus fumigatus-specific Taqman real-time PCR assay for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Platelia Aspergillus method. Patients with proven or probable IA had positive results with at least one of the two methods. The PCR method seems to be more specific, and a combination of the two should improve the diagnosis of IA.
متن کاملTaqman real-time PCR assay based on ORFV024 gene for rapid detection of orf infection.
In this study, a TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed to detect and quantify orf virus (ORFV) DNA in infected cell culture and clinical samples. Primers and probes were designed to amplify an 87 bp fragment DNA based on the sequence of ORFV024 gene encoding an NF-κB inhibitor of orf virus. The assay was highly specific and sensitive for ORFV DNA and no cross-reac...
متن کاملA Consistent PCR-RFLP Assay Based on ITS-2 Ribosomal DNA for Differentiation of Fasciola Species
Objective(s): Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by liver fluke species of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Differentiation of these two species, based on their morphological characteristics, is difficult. The current study aimed to use PCR-RFLP assay to distinguish between F. hepatica and F. gigantica , based on profiles of RFLP, produced by effect of endo...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of a Novel Taqman Real-Time PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Mycoplasma bovis: Comparison of Assay Performance with a Conventional PCR Assay and Another Taqman Real-Time PCR Assay ‡
The objective of this study was to develop and validate a Taqman real-time PCR assay for the detection of Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis). Unique primers targeting the highly conserved house-keeping gene (uvrC) were designed and the probe sequence was derived from a previously published microarray study. There was 100% agreement in the outcome between our assay and the other two published assays fo...
