Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in Indian AIDS patients detected by a novel set of ESAT-6 polymerase chain reaction primers.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are often underdiagnosed due to lack of proper diagnostic facilities. To overcome this, we created a rapid PCR method for the species-specific diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its differentiation from other mycobacteria. A set of PCR primers targeting the gene encoding for early-secreted antigen-6 (ESAT-6) of the M. tuberculosis complex was designed and st...
متن کاملUterine Leiomyoma and Reproductive Tract Infections Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background and Objective: For nearly a century, it has been suspected that reproductive tract infections play an etiologic role in uterine leiomyoma. However, no epidemiologic study of leiomyoma has used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to compare uterine tissues from cases and non-cases, and to investigate associations between uterine leiomyoma and infections detected by PC...
متن کاملUnusual fatal avian polyomavirus infection in nestling cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) detected by nested polymerase chain reaction
High mortality of nestling cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) was observed in one breeding flock in Slovakia. The nestling mortality affected 50% of all breeding pairs. In general, all the nestlings in affected nests died. Death occurred suddenly in 4to 6-day-old birds, most of which had full crops. No feather disorders were diagnosed in this flock. Two dead nestlings were tested by nested PCR ...
متن کاملDual candidemia detected by nested polymerase chain reaction in two critically ill children.
The use of improved microbiological procedures associated with molecular techniques has increased the identification of Candida bloodstream infections, even if the isolation of more than one species by culture methods remains uncommon. We report the cases of two children presenting with severe gastrointestinal disorders and other risk factors that contribute to Candida infections. In the first ...
متن کاملSpecies Specific DNA Profiling Mycobacterial Genomes Using Polymerase Chain Reaction with Single Universal Primer (UP-PCR)
Three tuberculous, twenty-one non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) reference strains and seventy two isolates classified by biochemical tests were shown to produce specific sets of DNA fragments in a polymerase chain reaction with single universal primer (UP-PCR). A rather wide limit of tolerance for variations in procedure of PCR mixture preparation and thermocycling parameters was found. There...
