Detection of Streptococcus pyogenes virulence factors by multiplex PCR
Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) is a human pathogen that causes multiple infections worldwide. The pathogenic properties of GAS strains are often linked to the production of virulence factors such as toxins, proteases or DNases. Detection of virulence factors produced by GAS strains can be used to either determine pathogenic potential of the strain or as a rapid screening and typing method. We rec...
متن کاملRapid detection of carbapenemase genes by multiplex real-time PCR.
OBJECTIVES To develop a single multiplex real-time PCR assay to detect six different genetic types of carbapenemases already identified in Enterobacteriaceae (KPC, GES, NDM, IMP, VIM and OXA-48). METHODS A total of 58 bacterial isolates were tested. Thirty were previously characterized as resistant to carbapenems and documented by PCR and sequencing analysis to carry the following genes: bla(...
متن کاملRapid detection of methicillin-resistant staphylococci by multiplex PCR.
A multiplex PCR was developed to detect the coagulase gene (coa; pathognomic of Staphylococcus aureus) and the mecA gene (characteristically encoding for methicillin resistance in staphylococci) in a single, rapid test. Suitable primers for the gene targets and an internal, amplification control were incorporated into a multiplex PCR assay, which was then optimized on a capillary air thermal cy...
متن کاملRapid and Concurrent Detection of Listeria Species by Multiplex Pcr
Listeria sps are ubiquitous in nature. Infection due to L. monocytogenes causes illness in animals and humans worldwide. Aim of the present study was to standardize a multiplex PCR for the identification and differentiation of important Listeria species, in particular, Listeria monocytogenes and to detect toxigenic potential of L. monocytogenes. Employing primers for truncated regions of seven ...
متن کاملDetection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli by multiplex PCR.
BACKGROUND Diarrheagenic E.coli (DEC) are an important cause of childhood diarrhea.Identification of DEC strains needs to detect factors that determine the virulence of these organisms. There is not much data regarding the importance of DEC as a cause of diarrhea in children in India.The prevalence of DEC in children below five years with and without diarrhea was studied using two multiplex PCR...
