Detection of Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in cow raw milk samples in shahre-kord
Abstract Background and objectives: Paratuberculosis or John's disease is a chronic infectious disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). It results in major economic losses to dairy farm of all over the world and it is the agent causing crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to detect the MAP using PCR in raw-milk samples of cows in shahre-kord. Mater...
متن کاملRAPID DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
متن کاملrapid detection of isoniazid resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis by a single multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction assay
objective: global surveillance has shown that drug resistant (dr) tuberculosis (tb) is widespread. prompt detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance is essential for effective control of tb. the most frequent mutations associated with isoniazid (inh) resistance in mycobacterium are substitutions at codons 315 in the katg gene and the maba-inha promoter region (−15). this survey eva...
متن کاملSPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
متن کاملSpecific detection of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis by DNA hybridisation with a fragment of the insertion element IS900.
This paper describes the evaluation of a newly developed DNA probe for Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. DNA probe PCR278 is a 278 bp fragment obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the 5'-region of IS900, an insertion element contained in the genome of M paratuberculosis. This DNA probe can specifically distinguish M paratuberculosis from a wide range of other organisms, in...
