Streptococcus pneumoniae Type Determination by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction
The purpose of this study was to develop pneumococcal typing by multiplex PCR and compare it with conventional serotyping by quellung reaction. Pneumococcal strains used in this study included 77 isolates from clinical specimens collected from children at Seoul National University Children's Hospital from 2006 to 2010. These strains were selected as they represented 26 different serotypes previ...
متن کاملRfbo157 by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction
A rapid method for detection of Escherichia coli O157: H7 using multiplex PCR was developed. Two oligonucleotide primer pairs were used for simultaneously detection of vt encoding verotoxin genes for virulence factor and rfbO157 encoding the O-antigen specific for E. coli O157: H7. Multiplex PCR generated two products of 215 bp and 420 bp for vt and rfbO157, respectively. Multiplex PCR detected...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of nontypeable group B streptococcus.
Traditionally, the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) antigen has been used to distinguish between the nine known serotypes of group B streptococcus (GBS) by classical antibody-antigen reactions. In this study, we used PCR for all CPSs and selected protein antigens, multilocus sequencing typing (MLST), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to molecularly characterize 92 clinical isolates ident...
متن کاملDetection of alpha-thalassemias by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
Although alpha-thalassemia is the most common genetic abnormality in the world, there is currently no routine laboratory method to definitively identify individuals who are affected. We describe a rapid and simple method that utilizes deletion-sensitive primers to amplify normal DNA sequences. Deletions involving the regions responsible for most of the alpha-thalassemia cases in the US prevent ...
متن کاملSpecific detection of Salmonella spp. by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
Three sets of oligonucleotide primers were used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect Salmonella species. phoP primers specific to the phoP/phoQ loci of coliform pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, and Citrobacter species served as presumptive indicators of enteric bacteria. In addition to the phoP primers, the Hin and the H-1i primers, which tar...
