Differentiation of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum and infantis by quantitative PCR using functional gene targets
BACKGROUND Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are abundant in the feces of babies during the exclusively-milk-diet period of life. Bifidobacterium longum is reported to be a common member of the infant fecal microbiota. However, B. longum is composed of three subspecies, two of which are represented in the bowel microbiota (B. longum subsp. longum; B. longum subsp. infantis). B. longum subspe...
متن کاملOptimisation of PCR reactions using primer chessboarding.
In-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are now an integral part of the work of most diagnostic microbiological laboratories. Despite the availability of commercial reagent 'master-mixes' of some PCR reagents, the optimisation of primers still poses a significant problem. Here, we describe a simple method to assess the concentration of primer needed in single round, multiplex, nested an...
متن کاملBiologically-generated primer for PCR: PCR primer of unknown sequence
We describe a method for producing specific PCR primers directly from PCR product, bypassing the usual need to know the primer sequence. Lack of abundance of primers derived from a PCR product is compensated for by the incorporation of an arbitrary 5'TAG sequence which acts as a surrogate template target for the bulk amplification phase. We use the technique to amplify clonospecific rearranged ...
متن کاملPCR Primer Design
To make PCR a specific, efficient and cost effective tool for researchers and clinicians the most important aspect is oligonucleotide primer design. This review discusses various aspects of primer design. Advice is provided for optimal design and the role of bioinformatic tools is highlighted. The authors discuss theoretical considerations and compare computational and experimental studies.
متن کاملEfficient differentiation of Mycobacterium avium complex species and subspecies by use of five-target multiplex PCR.
Infections caused by the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are on the rise in both human and veterinary medicine. A means of effectively discriminating among closely related yet pathogenetically diverse members of the MAC would enable better diagnosis and treatment as well as further our understanding of the epidemiology of these pathogens. In this study, a five-target multiplex PCR designed to...
