Broad-range PCR-TTGE for the first-line detection of bacterial pathogen DNA in ticks.
Ticks are known or suspected vectors for a wide range of bacterial pathogens. One of the first steps for tick-borne risk assessment is the detection of these pathogens in their vectors. In the present study, a broad-range PCR amplification of the eubacterial gene encoding the 16S rRNA gene combined with Temporal Temperature Gradient gel Electrophoresis (TTGE) was evaluated as a method allowing ...
متن کاملEmpyema: the use of broad range 16S rDNA PCR for pathogen detection.
BACKGROUND An increase in the incidence of thoracic empyema in children has been reported. The causative pathogen is often unknown as pleural fluid is frequently sterile at the time of culture. The role of unusual organisms is unclear. AIMS (1) To compare the detection of organisms in pleural fluid from children with empyema using a molecular technique (16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR...
متن کاملOptimal DNA isolation method for detection of bacteria in clinical specimens by broad-range PCR.
Broad-range amplification of bacterial DNA from clinical specimens has proved useful for the diagnosis of various bacterial infections, especially during antimicrobial treatment of the patient. Optimal sample processing protocols for diagnostic broad-range bacterial PCR should release DNA from an array of target organisms with equal efficiencies and wash out inhibitory factors from various samp...
متن کاملDiagnosis of bacterial endophthalmitis by broad-range quantitative PCR.
AIM To measure the bacterial genome in ocular fluids and to analyse the clinical relevance of infectious endophthalmitis. METHODS Nineteen ocular fluid samples (eight aqueous humour and 11 vitreous fluid samples) were collected from 19 patients with suspected bacterial endophthalmitis. Fifty ocular samples from uveitis patients were also collected along with 40 samples from patients without o...
متن کاملImproved detection of bacterial central nervous system infections by use of a broad-range PCR assay.
A universal PCR assay for bacteria and fungi detected meningitis pathogens in 65% of 20 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with suspected central nervous system (CNS) infections compared to a 35% detection rate by culture and/or microscopy methods. Thus, the PCR assay can improve the diagnosis rate of infective meningitis when standard methods provide a negative result.
